To all who have inquired: Thanks to those who have sent hats to my son, Travis. He has just finished his first month of treatment and begins a new round of "chemo" tomorrow. He is doing okay with the treatment and is not too sick but has extremely low white blood counts. He will have four months of chemotherapy and one month of radiation and that will supposedly put him into remission. Other than worsening asthma-like conditions (he already had some asthma) he has had very few symptoms. They discovered the cancer when he had xrays after a ladder collapsed with him at work. The fall was scary but a blessing. He was in the second stage of cancer already so finding it now and getting the treatment started was imperative. He had no idea the hats were coming and called to tell me about them. The first hat that came was a pink hat from someone in New York and it had a note that said something like: "You can have it, I don't want it. It's too pink for me..." It was great! He had no idea what was going on. I've been able to just act interested and say nothing but when he called to tell me about one yesterday I started laughing so he knows that I had something to do with it, he's just not sure what yet. I will show him the email soon but it has just been fun to watch him wonder about it all. Thanks for your help in this different kind of "family" problem. I really appreciate it. Cindy Alldredge >>>original letter>>>>>>>>>> To all my internet friends: I am starting a drive to collect hats for my son who is losing his hair because of his chemotherapy treatment for cancer (Hodgkins Disease.) He is 26 years old and married with one and a half children. He has a great sense of humor and I want to do something to keep him smiling. What I am looking for are caps with logos - the kind used as promotions by companies and organizations. If you know of a company or group that would send one to him I would appreciate it. Please don't spend money, we are just trying to have a good time. Please send to: "Hats for Travis" 12313 -93rd Lane NE Kirkland WA 98034 Thanks for your consideration, Cindy Alldredge - County Coordinator Washington County Utah - UTGenWeb/USGenWeb http://www.lofthouse.com/USA/Utah/washington/index.html San Juan County Utah - UTGenWeb/USGenWeb http://www.lofthouse.com/USA/Utah/sanjuan/index.html <<<<<<<<
