Need some help. I noted that the Paypal option was still not up so I decided to pay with a credit card. When I hit "submit", this came up:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e21'
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
/donate_submit.asp, line 78
What does this mean? Did my donation go through? Should I try again?

There is no bigger gong.

I did it again using a different credit card. No problem this time. If I donated twice, oh well.

Software glitch somewhere in the handoff of the information. I'd email them to confirm whether or not the transaction did go through.
On a related note, I saw a news story the other evening about some experimental Chicago trials of a non-chemo treatment that has shown some experimental success in melanoma tumor shrinkage. The doctor interviewed said that for melanoma that has metastasized into the lymph system, chemo is only successful for tumor shrinkage in about 15% of cases, while this experimental approach has achieved tumor shrinkage in about 60-70% of cases (I think, recalling from memory). This new therapy is based on immune system boosting instead of chemo.
I don't know if this story is about the same therapy, but it sounds like it:

A cool idea: flood the tumors with oxygen, good for the immune system, bad for the tumors. It's when you hear about ideas like this that giving to cancer research charities is so gratifying.

I did it directly to the Foundation by CC. It looked simpler that way.
But if you donated twice, twice the benefits will you reap!

Hey, that's great Lynne. I read some article lately about breast cancer, that talked about new therapies having made the chemo experience much less invasive and with fewer side effects than ten years ago.
My mom is a survivor...she went through real hell with chemo about 20 years ago. I was so glad to see things have improved for people who've been diagnosed more recently.

So's my husband; he had testicular cancer 9 years ago, and then a recurrence 8 years ago. 2 rounds of lymph node surgery and chemo, plus various other surgeries to remove ancillary tumors.
The thing I find fascinating about this immune system/oxygen thing is that the logic is the flip side of chemo: chemo is about poisoning the cells in your body, but having the tumor cells take the poison at a faster rate and die before the rest of you. This immune system therapy is about blowing up the tumor cells with too much of a good thing, while leaving the rest of you unaffected. I look forward to the day when we don't have to poison ourselves to survive, and technology will help us get there.
