From 1 to 62 - Happy Birthday Mom! She started with 1 curl and now she has many.
11-12-49. Do you know how many times mom has said that date in the last 8 months? For every blood test, chemo treatment, dose of medicine, glass of water, blood transfusion, bone marrow, and routine nurse check they asked "What's your birthday?" before they administered it.
That was to verify she didn't get anything she shouldn't. I don't think she could have gotten anything worse than what she was scheduled to get!
Friday we got the results of the bone marrow and FISH test. It's all clear. Everything is looking good. No cancer cells in the bone marrow and no cancer cells floating around in the circulated blood.
Mom will start the chemo pills again Nov. 15 and take 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening for 15 days. This is mainly just a little insurance to make super-duper sure the liquid chemo killed all the cancer. As an employee of State Farm, a little insurance isn't a bad thing, right?!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I am thankful this blog has helped keep friends and family connected with mom through this journey. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
