Jean,
I'm so glad to hear about Milo. I read Jason Bell's site on Hailee.
I didn't realize he was a doctor. I thought he just was a wealthy,
concerned owner. That makes me feel even better about following his
advice on supplements. I had already been using the doxycycline
before reading his site. that he attributed Hailee's last and longest
remission to it, made me feel I was doing the right thing. I don't
know if it works, but as long as it is not doing harm, I will keep
using it. I also think being on daily doxycycline prevented Jen from
crashing when her neutro dropped to 350 after her first chemo.
Keep up the good work, and please pass on any info you have learned
form Dr. Bell you think may be helpful.
