Relapse....

I needed a few days before I could post my most recent news. My numbers were continuing to fall and I wasn’t feeling myself. Tuesday's bone biopsy showed that the leukemia has now spread to my marrow. Luckily is a low percentage of cells, but unfortunately more treatment needs to happen. Currently I will be infusing with a drug called Vidaza for 7 days. (Out patient in the clinic with relaxation drugs.) Then I take 3 weeks off and the start the process all over again. I will also be off my immunosuppression drug by the end of January to let my white cells fight at full force. After 3 months we’ll recheck the marrow and see if it is gone. Currently I am devastated by the news since everything was going so well. I am trying to be strong!! Send your good vibes and prayers my way. :)

Carla-as you know with cancer-it can't all go as hoped for and this is going to be just that...another step back- but look at how many steps forward you have made. It stinks, but I know you are as tough as they come-you have proven that and are my hero. You can and will do this. We all love you and your awesome family! Sending you all love hugs, prayers and everything positive!! The McDermotts
