Jessica,

You are the strongest person I know. I read your history and think I could have never done all that treatment. I would have given up in the middle. I think you are an amazing, spirited woman.

I see you have chronic anemia. The transfusions have a tendency to make the body accumulate iron. Our family takes chlorophyll to help rebuild the red blood cells. There is also Aranesp, an erythopoeitin to stimulate the production of RBCs.

Eleven years is unbelievable with all the cancer challenges you have faced. I hope that you can continue only on PH soon, that the T will do its work to get you to NED.

Wishing you victory over cancer and a full rich life
