Here We Are

So I just finished chemotherapy yesterday and am in the neutrophenic stage, which means I practically have no immune system to fight off infection. Funny enough though, I feel relatively good. That obnoxious machine that delivered my chemotherapy and fluids has been removed and things are looking up. I found out from my doc yesterday that my FLP test, which determines whether the cancer is out of control or not, is not out of control. I can't begin to tell you how relieved I was to hear that news. I still got a long road ahead. I'm gonna have to do chemotherapy one more time, with radiation and then get the bone marrow transfusion from my brother. From there, it's all monitoring and making sure his immune system takes over for mine.

But I do want to use this opportunity to thank my brother. Sam, this is THE biggest gift I could ever get from anyone. Thank you!
