Betty, my wife, got sick at stomach, dizzy and problem with vision the middle of February. She spent three weeks in St. Francis (Tulsa) and they could not make a diagnosis. Two slightly enlarged lymph nodes in her chest were all they noticed. Her doctor spent a week trying to get her into a teaching hospital. He was able to get her transferred to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. It is associated with the University of Washington Medical School, and is really impressive place. We have been here a week and been through a lot of tests. She now has a feeding tube in her stomach and is fairly stable. She had a procedure yesterday to get a biopsy of lymph nodes in chest. It will be another day or two before we hear results and their plans to treat it. We hope to get on a schedule and look forward to going home. I have a laptop/modem but only use it for e-mail, don't seem to have inclination to spend any time on internet.
