Hi Everyone:
Carol was given one unit of platelets this morning. Carol “the unstoppable” cannot stay still, so as soon as this task was done, we both took a very nice walk around the college campus and enjoyed the beautiful morning, outdoors. Back to the room and after a shower, she went to her Yoga class, which she enjoys tremendously.
Today the results of Carol’s bone morrow biopsy showed 13% blast cells, so one more round of the chemotherapy is needed to reach the lower than 5% for the bone morrow transplant to be able to be scheduled. The doctor who visited us with these results suggested that the same type of drugs could be used for the next round, since a large number of the blast cells were already eliminated on the first round. The medication decision lays with the head of the department, Dr. Lancet, whom we will probably hear from tomorrow. So here we go again.
We will probably have to stay at the Moffitt resort a few more weeks.
Nothing will change Carol’s determination to overcome this obstacle. The distance for this regatta is just a little longer, a head race, so a bit more rowing will be needed.
Again we thank everyone for the calls, emails, texts and whatever means you use to give us your support. We really appreciate all of your support.
Thank you.
Jaime
