Home Sweet Home

I was discharged today after a 24hr period without a fever. I am soooooooooooo glad to be home! The hospital gets to me after about 4 days and I get grouchy. My sister Fran should be arriving from DC later today and I can't wait to see her. I should get my PET scan this week that will indicate where treatment goes from here. If the PET scan shows a reduction in the size of my cancer masses, then they will likely continue on coarse with the remaining 4 cycles of Hyper CVAD chemo treatment. If the caner does not seem to be responding as it should then we may look at alternative treatments or stem cell transplant. We are hopeful for the first option even though the thought of any more chemo treatments makes me cringe :-) Hope to have a couple weeks home for now.

Luv,
Kancho

    I am sorry to hear that Chemo was not able to shrink the tumor.But I am so glad to read your comments and see that you are staying positive!!
    That is so important as you fight this battle! If there is anything you need you know the number at the school. Do not hesitate to pick up the phone! Your daughter is still so pretty with her big smile.

  6. Thanks Coach for the positive comments. I was very glad I received something from the Big I. Unfortunately, I don't hear from anyone over there. I'm going to stay positive, and fight this thing with all my strength. Thanks for the comment about Kylee, I agree with you for sure.

    Thanks again for staying in touch. Take care as you finish up the school year.
