Bill's Status - June 22, 2001
The local hospice has agreed to help Joyce and Teresa take care of Bill. They have a nurse that comes in once a day to help out. The last three weeks have been a big setback in his physical therapy and he is now mostly confined to bed. Although Bill is not able to use his computer, he has decided to begin work on his memoirs and is using a tape recorder to dictate his recollections. Bill began the 2nd month of Chemotherapy and so far has shown no side effects. We are not sure how effective it is, but at least he does not seem to be getting any worse. Here is a website that has a good summary of the treatment: http://brain.mgh.harvard.edu/ChemoGuide.htm Bill has been very touched by the many cards and letters he has gotten from the Flight 800 community and I would like to add my thanks as well. For anyone who wishes to send a card, his address is: Bill Donaldson
