The last two weeks have been extremely hectic and filled with more than the usual number of medical appointments. The good news is that Terry's cancer is in check enough that she is going to have another stem cell transplant. She has been viewed, reviewed, checked and rechecked by her primary care physician, her primary hematologist/oncologist, her oral surgeon, her cardiologist and today by her transplant specialist. She is fighting a terrible cold at this time and needs a biopsy on a growth in her mouth that is probably related to her cancer, but other than that she is ready.
Right now it looks as if July will be the magic month. There is a lot of prep work to do before T-minus 6. FYI, T-minus 6 is the day she goes into the hospital and gets 6 days of chemo before the actual transplant.
This time she will be getting her sister Helen's stem cells. Terry received her own stem cells for the first transplant. Helen has promised that her cells will come out swinging and knock the crap out of any cancer left in Terry's body. I have known Helen for a long time. If she says it, it will happen.
Please keep up the prayers and good thoughts.
