Sorry for the lapse in updates. Blood tests have been pretty good overall, but white cells have been on the high side so last week they decided to do another bone marrow biopsy to see if this could be from the myelofibrosis. The biopsy was done last Friday and results should be back in 2 weeks. The doctor did say that this could actually be from graft vs. host disease instead. We'll let you know when we get the results. Thanks for praying!

Friday's clinic visit

Platelets were down a little but still in mormal range and hemoglobin was up a little bit. A previous blood test showed that there may be some blood cells that are type A and the cells should actually be type B so they took another blood test to determine if this is accurate- they should have the results this week. If they are the wrong cell type then they will have to give an IV medication once a week for 4 weeks, but they should be able to do this at the oncologist's office in Fresno. We'll keep you posted.

Everything is going pretty well. Last week Terry went to the clinic on Thurs instead of Fri because her arm has been hurting. They have scheduled an MRI to check for the cause. Her hemoglobin was down a little and the doctor said that if it drops more next week they will want to go back to 2 clinic visits a week. They also have started to decrease her immunosuppressant medication. We are getting closer to the 100 day mark.....Oct 2!!!!
