Today is Jenn's last day of Chemo treatments and we are all really excited for that. Her brother (Tucker) and father (Scott) are arriving today, so Jenn is really excited to see them as well.
Jenn had a great day yesterday, she was up all day and ate quite well. The mystery gravy that has been served with just about every dish so far was not present and that made Jenn very happy. She has a taste for pizza today, so they are going to get that for her dinner.
Tucker will be getting tested this week to see if he is a positive match for a bone marrow donation. This would be great news if they are a match. Otherwise the hospital will use their national database for other potential matches. The bone marrow transplant isn't entirely necessary, but would certainly help increase the chances that this nasty cancer never comes back. The doctors are probably going to administer a platelet transfusion this week as well as a couple of unit of blood to keep Jenn's system strong.
The Chemo treatments are over, but this is when the real battle begins. Again, if anyone is even remotely feeling sick we have to ask that you stay home. Jenn's immune system like I mentioned above is at it's weakest so even the common cold would be a terrible thing for Jennifer to get at this point in her treatments.
Jenn doesn't have a kindle or e-reader, so paperback books are best at this point.
Jenn is very upbeat and truly inspirational, we are just amazed everyday when we arrive and she is already up and chipper... What a trooper!
Lots of Love from Room 4912!!
this is great news brother! hang in there and keep up the good spirit! looking forward to seeing you both soon!
