Good morning, and thank you for checking in with me. My biopsy shows I am in remission, " best possible outcome" according to my doctor! I am so happy.
Today I start my second round of chemo.
Next monday I will meet with my leukemia specialist to discuss pros and cons of a bone marrow transplant. I am 74, and praying for wisdom.
I am so tired most of the time. Ida

Good morning, Ida! Yessss! Happy dance for you!! Congratulations with being in remission. I know that feeling!! Phew. The 2nd round of chemo should ‘seal the deal’ and keep you safe while decisions are made for the next treatment Then you and your doctor can take things from that point going forward. Fingers crossed to go ahead with the transplant. 😉
You’re in the best of hands with the team at Mayo so hang in there and keep me posted!! I’m heading there myself in a couple of weeks for my 5 year followup! That’s a biggie!! Too bad our appts didn’t overlap I’d meet you in a lounge somewhere!

What a lovely photo. Is this your handsome husband, Ida? You make a beautiful couple.

Hi Ida, I just wanted to check in with you to how your meeting the leukemia specialist went. Did you discuss having a bone marrow transplant?
