Thursday June 15 - madubois63
Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know the pathology shows NO ACTIVE BREAST CANCER!!! So I am just dealing with the leukemia and am not excluded from becoming a bone marrow recipient!!!! All your wonderful prayers are working and all your love is keeping me going. I took 2 laps around the ward today and also got a massage (inpatient services) - very nice!!!! I also got some platelets, blood and tons of antibiotics. Today is day 11. I'll probably have a bone marrow biopsy on Monday to see if I need more chemo (hopefully not) or if I am in remission (please God). After that, then we can start planning the next step...the transplant. That won't be done here at this hospital. But I found out I may have a tiny little pull at 2 transplant centers near or in Manhattan. I have a cousin whose husband is on the board at Sloane and a cousin that works in the transplant ward at another hospital a little closer to home. But one thing at a time....I'm done with the chemo part and just trying to get stronger and not get sick. Thanks for all the love - it's keeping me going!!!!

Great News Maryann!!!
Congratulations, that must be a huge relief. I think about you everyday and am sending you healing warm thoughts from the Bay Area. Keep hanging in there and you said it best... one thing at a time - it has also become my motto since dx. Be well.
Hugs,
Patricia
