Get up and scream & shout!

If you are reading this, I want you to stand up, and jump up in the air at least once... come on... at least 1 jump! You can let out a "whoo hoo" if you want.  Come on.... I'm just asking for 1 jump!

Why are we jumping? Dr. Jeong came to visit this evening and said he had the results of the bone marrow test. It's all clear – no cancer cells left in the bone marrow! She is officially in remission. The chemo got them all. It was a fight to the finish, and worth the battle! What relief this feels like! 

Today is the first day her platelets increased on their own. Her white blood cells and red blood cells are up, too. That's a good sign. She got started on a steroid today to help her get stronger. She is still very weak and tired. Day-by-day her mouth is getting better, too.

Mom will continue to do 3 more rounds of chemo, so we still have a long road ahead. This chemo will make sure there are no cancer cells floating around in her blood. There will still be good days and bad days, but from now on she's a survivor! That's just awesome!

Come on...if you didn't jump the first time, you gotta jump now!
