Not a lot, cancer-wise, happening with Terry. The biggest news is that she had a bone marrow biopsy done two days ago. Normally we would have the results on Friday, but as luck would have it the oncologist is on vacation Friday and Monday. We were hoping for results for Mothers Day, but we'll have to wait. We did talk with Dr. Bloom, her hematology-oncology specialist, about Terry's future options. The possibilities are to do no transplant and continue maintenance therapy, do a stem cell transplant using her own cells and then maintenance therapy or use her sister's stem cells for a transplant and then maintenance therapy. He would opt for the third and then went through the reasons why. We have trusted this physician for the past 2 1/2 years so his opinion means a lot.
I'll update this blog as soon as her bone marrow results are in. In the meantime please know that she is doing well and that your prayers are being answered and still sought.
