Hi Akhil,
I have heard very good reports on the Duponts, but, sadly, do not own any,
yet! That "yet" has to be noted since the number of pens that I will own is
limited only by my longevity and to a lesser degree, by my finances. :-)
So, I'm hoping people will jump in here with their experiences with the
Dupont pens. Only drawback for me are the metal sections that are so often
the case. There are Duponts without the metal sections, aren't there? (Just
answered my own question, by finding several)
Up day here. Son-in-law is tolerating this next (throw every chemo drug at it
possible to affect the most aggressive treatment possible) round of chemo
well. Not nearly the amount of nausea as the previous combo of Cisplatin
and Erbitux. That, plus we're making headway in the legal stuff necessary to
get my mother out of this world, cleanly. At least Otis (our pug) made it
outa this world without legal requirements a week and a half ago. Small
solace!
