Friendly competition, sisterly love

Myrna Reinhart (right), a Seattle Cancer Care Alliance leukemia/lymphoma patient from Fort Shaw, Mont., takes the lead in a fast-paced game of Skip-Bo in the Alliance sixth-floor waiting room - and that's just fine with her sisters (from left) Marlys Creasman, of Great Falls, Mont., and Yvette Zimdau, of Beach, N.D. The threesome has moved temporarily to Seattle during Reinhart's mini-transplant, for which Creasman is her stem-cell donor. Reinhart underwent an autologous (self-donor) transplant at Fred Hutchinson eight and a half years ago. The sisters' favorite diversion here besides cards? "Shopping," they answer simultaneously.
