The 1040 Window

Dr. Paquette called me today but got my voicemail.  His message began with the words, “since I am calling with good news, I can leave it as a voicemail…”  The results from my bone marrow biopsy (did I mention that I do not enjoy those?) came back and I am in remission!  Praise God!!!

Now before you get too excited, though, being in remission does not mean too much at this point.  While it is a VERY GOOD thing, it does not change treatment in any way and may or may not affect the long term outlook of the situation.  The main thing it does (as far as I understand) is produce a much better environment for the stem cell transplant to take place.  And it is wonderful and encouraging just to hear the words, “In remission!”

Also, I had an absolutely wonderful time at my birthday party.  First of all, I was able to attend!  And for the whole day, to boot.  Many, many thanks go out to so many of you for coming, or praying with us, or just sending a birthday greeting, and for some presents too!

I continually thank God for your love and support.
