C.A. update, the other string is too long

CA went to the Mayo clinic yesterday and was told to try a new chemo therapy. This one does not shrink the size of the tumor, but shuts off the blood supply to it so it will not grow any more. She will need to go to Rochester every other Monday for additional chemo therapy.

There is a local(?) charity group that pays for the more expensive medications, like chemo, and CA's support group has filled out all of the paper work needed to apply. This looks like it may work out.

She tried to post this herself in the other thread, but got stymied when the BB "lost" her ID and password.

She also has a real problem finding the right words to talk to other people. Not that her mind doesn't work, it works great, it is just that the words get lost between the brain and the tongue. So, she is looking for something that she can easily type on and show other people what she wants to say, and carry it in her purse.
A Blackberry comes to mind as does the Iphone, but she doesn't necessarily need it to get on the WWW or to talk on the phone. Just strangers that don't know her condition. Obviously, price and size is a real problem.

She wishes all of you her love,

Klaus
