My leukemia's back.

Blooie has been busy with her hubby's schedule. But that doesn't mean that she's not far from my thoughts and concern for her. Loosing Linda was hard on her.

Good Morning Team. :)

Off to the doc soon to see what's next for treatment. Wish me luck.

Prayers for wisdom from your medical team, healing touch from the Master Physician.
 
I really haven't wanted to post this, but denial can only take you so far.......

Some of my byc family remembers I was diagnosed with leukemia in June 13. I did all the chemo and had a clean bone marrow in Feb 14, indicating remission. Well, that didn't last. My labs started dropping and I had another bone marrow biopsy, it confirmed I'm relapsed. I go back to OHSU in Portland on Tuesday for induction chemo again. This means a 4-6 week stay, 250 miles from home

. It's going to be quite a challenge for my family. My honey's having a hard time not being able to be with me, but he's got to hold down the fort at home. The boys aren't happy, of course, but at least we've had some warning this time. After Induction and some more chemo, they'll be looking for a bone marrow donor since I don't have appropriate siblings. This whole process is going to take a long, long time.

I know God's got my back with this, and it's His plan no matter what happens. It's just hard being so far from my family. And then even when I can come home, I'll be immune compromised and have to live like a germaphobe again--most of you know I'm pretty much the opposite of that!

So, I'd again encourage anyone who is able to donate blood. Not specifically for me, but for everyone like me out there who relies on a transfusion to keep going.

All my friends who are praying folk--your prayers are always accepted! For those who aren't praying people, feel free to start any time

My prayers are with you. My younger sister just had her cancer come back too. Aggressive colon and liver. Was on chemo for four years. It really sucks.
 
Well the good news is that my lymph nodes were negative. 0/3 :yesss:

Still waiting to hear from the coordinator in Phoenix to make final radiation plans. Then on to an estrogen blocker. :sick
fantastic news about the lymph nodes.

really great!

My mom has been fine on the estrogen blocker, my aunt said it was horrid. :confused: Hope you get the "huh, whatever" no excitement reaction. ;)
