Good news!! Jenn is going to have her bone marrow biopsy tomorrow and we should have the results back on Wednesday or Thursday.
Even better news... Jenn most likely won't need a bone marrow transplant after all. Dr Miller has decided as long as the bone marrow biopsy comes back negative that he would pass on the bone marrow transplant for now. Basically the bone marrow transplant would be a last resort if the leukemia came out of remission. Then they would perform the marrow transplant and put Jenn through Chemo again. It is much better to save that transplant for a time when it would be absolutely necessary and I agree with Dr Miller on this move 100%.
Jenn is crazy excited today and for good reason. Her appetite has been great and her attitude couldn't be finer. I know I must sound like a broken record at this point, but Jenn is "strong like bull" and really has been inspirational, motivational and just plain outstanding through this journey so far.
Thanks to everyone who mentioned the positive attitude and frame of mind, as Jenn has truly been exhibiting those traits and continues to be a beacon of strength and courage.
We both are really looking forward to tomorrows test and even more so the results. I refer to this part of the journey as reaching the initial peak... We have almost climbed the mountain to what we believe is the peak; but until we reach the top, we have no idea what else might be in-store.
Keep Jenn in your thoughts and prayers as this clearly isn't over; but certainly is looking better and better each and every day.
Much Love from Room 4912!!
