Hi Everyone! Happy New Year! With chemo #6 behind her and the wave of nausea starting to lift, Mom is optimistic about 2010. This is going to be her year. As things stand now, she is on schedule for her transplant. She will be admitted to Thornton Hospital on January 20. Just to give you an idea, the plan should hopefully go like this...1/20 hospital; 1/21-1/25 chemotherapy; 1/26 day of rest; 1/27 infusion of stem cells!!! They refer to this as Day "O"--they say you should consider this your new birthday, and Mom is seriously considering it, since the last two birthdays haven't exactly worked out for her! If all goes as planned, she should be out of the hospital around February 9. It will pretty much be "house arrest" for the next month, with lots of trips to UCSD for follow-ups with Dr. Castro.
Everyone has been offering to help, and we really appreciate it and will certainly take you up on it as the needs arise. I will keep you posted!
Deb-You are battling this leach of a disease with great dignity and poise.2010 will be your year! The stem cells are going to kick it!We think about you every day and hold you in our prayers.Katie and Michael
