INDUCTION OF REMISSION — The most common remission induction regimen includes cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside, Ara-C, or Cytosar), given continuously for seven days through an intravenous (IV) line. Daunorubicin (Daunomycin, Cerubidine, or Rubidomycin) is given in a single IV dose for the first three days of treatment. This is sometimes known as the "7+3" regimen. In some medical centers a variation of this regimen is used, in which daunorubicin is replaced by idarubicin, or cytarabine is given alone in much higher doses.

Margaret has enjoyed the visits, phone calls, letters and cards from family, friends, and students.
On Thursday, April 19, her brother Raymond & his wife Sally brought Margaret's mother Carmen to visit.
Nothing like some bedside mother's love to make a person feel better.
Friends Kate & Tracy stopped in to chat with Margaret, too.
My aunt Merle also telephoned Margaret from Oklahoma City. I think she's planning Margaret's next visit to the Cowboy Hall of Fame, home of the Gene Autry exhibit, second only to James Arness in Margaret's pantheon of silver screen cowboys.
