A bad day - but this too will be overcome

Terry got the results of her biopsy today. The cancer has grown from 8% to 23% of her marrow. In spite of the medicines, etc. that she took to lower her cancer count, the disease increased. That puts everything on hold. No transplant on 09/09/09-no hospitalization, just a new weapon or two to try and get this cancer under 5% of her bone marrow cells so she can have her transplant.
We don't have a timeline yet, for the new drug cocktail she will be taking. However we continue to keep our faith and know we are in the hands of experts who will do everything in their God-given power to help. In the meantime keep those thoughts and prayers coming in. When we learn anything it will be posted.

Life is 10% of what happens to you & 90% how you react to it. Mom, you told me this is just another bump in the road. I know you are going to run over that bump with full force & kick this disease in the butt. You will always be my superstar. - K

Thanks for keeping us posted with the blog.

I hope that the new "drug coctail" is exactly what Terry needs to speed her recovery!
She is in my thoughts and prayers every day.
