First round of chemo didn't take, still 30% blast cells. Round two started, more targeted this time. Looking at least another month of her being in the Hospital and hoping it works this time.
We appreciate the support from everyone. Thank you. |

I was wondering about this the other day as well. How are things? I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers. Christmas eve was my one year anniversary of surviving. When my spleen ruptured my doctor told my family that the chances of survival were very slim. He didn't know of any case where there was a survivor. Nine units of blood and 5 hours later your prayers and good wishes worked. My doctor said he wasn't just going to give up. And, for that I eternally grateful. I've been in remission since Mar 7, my birthday. What a great present. I still spent a couple of weeks more in the hospital. I have had 4 more rounds of inpatient chemo. It took me until May to venture to the store and then for only a couple of hours a day. I'm glad to say I'm back to work for 5 or 6 hours a day. And, loving every minute. I will have tests mid January and every three months after that as long as I stay in remission. There's a 35% chance of long term survival with just chemo, but a transplant is always possible if necessary. (Sure hope I don't have to go that route.) I just want you all to know how much I truly appreciate all the kind words. I don't know you all by your screen names, but I have spoken the many of you since I have been back to work and your encouragement had been uplifting. Thank you all and have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year... Affectionately, Arlyn |

Arlyn,
That's fantastic news. I actually started to send Sam a message yesterday to ask how you were doing. Unfortunately, I got busy and didn't get the chance. I guess it all works out. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well and things are looking good. |
