On the Road
It looks like we are on the road heading toward a transplant! Margy started inpatient chemotherapy last week because her blasts (a type of white blood cell) had increased because of the cancer. Her doctors decided it was necessary to have this intense chemotherapy in order for her to be able to get the bone marrow transplant. She will have to stay in the hospital for several weeks. Her sister Nancy is staying with her and is taking great care of her, keeping her company, and making meals when the hospital food does not appeal to her. We are not sure of the exact timing of the next steps at this point, however, we should know more in about 2 weeks. If you would like to send her a well-wishing note, feel free to send it through this website. If you would like to send her something in the mail, please contact us and we will provide you with her mailing address. All of your good thoughts and prayers are welcomed and appreciated.
