Reminds me a little of getting checked out for heart palpitations a couple years ago, finding out that I have a couple of "prolapses" (mitral and tricuspid) which basically means a couple of valves can't get their act together. I was relieved I had no heart disease, but the doc basically said, "yeah, you have these things wrong with your heart but you're fine".
Bethany update: really nothing new to report, which is always nice. She met with an endocrinologist earlier in the week who basically said her endocrine system seems fine - unaffected by the LCH so far. The second cycle of chemo-for-one-week-and-two-weeks-off is coming up next week, but she managed the first cycle well so we're hopeful.
PhD update: seems like my options in the Toronto area include U of T, Ryerson, and York. I have til the fall to decide (since I won't be starting this year) so the next step is to ask around about the colleges and visit/meet with program reps.
Not being a native Torontonian I have no bias, except that I really don't want a program that only has the really dry psychology research (mice, brain studies, that kind of thing). Probably a program that allows for the study of kids and mental health treatment, which is my forte.
