Good morning everyone, I wanted to update the post since Jenn is rather weak right now and unable to post any messages. She is doing well, just very tired from the high dosage chemo and she is having a few issues with her motor skills due to the strength of the chemo. About a week ago, Jenn was getting one of her last chemo treatments and it caused what they call "Neurotoxicity". This directly affects Jenn's motor skills and speech. At this time, Jenn's speech is almost 100% again. But she has to do physical therapy everyday in order to build back her motor skills for walking and balance. This has caused a delay in the bone marrow transplant and it looks like they are going to puch it back another week to allow Jenn to rebuild her strength and coordination. Jenn is quite sad by all of this, but she is slowly seeing that she is almost done with the treatments and that this is one of the last obstacles on her way back to freedom and living life in the outside world again. I am hopeful that Jenn will be much better next week. Since she is changing rooms a lot, please send any cards or well wishes to 372 Lake Ave Lancaster, NY 14086. Much love from Room 5913!!
