Sorry I didn't update sooner. I've lost track of the timing but about 4 weeks ago we learned that her bone marrow is now 100% donor! YEA! Then last week we go the results back from her bone marrow biopsy and there were ZERO MUTATIONS! YEA AGAIN! She will still have 8 rounds of chemo, 5 days in a row each time, but the Onc said that is a preventative just in case something was missed. Seems like she's recovering nicely. She has had a couple of rounds of GVHD with a rash, no itching, but the prednisone has been very effective. Her energy and her mood are both up and life is almost back to normal. I printed comments from Lori and Ted for her and they were very helpful (THANK YOU BOTH!!!) just in knowing what to expect and understanding that the first few months are simply just hard... 90 days from transplant on the 9th.

Brad, that’s wonderful news! Congratulations to your wife, (and you) on the positive news! I’m so happy she’s feeling much better, physically and mentally. Coming up on 90 days...it’s very close to that critical milestone of 100 days! That’s a huge YAY!! 😀. Thank you for giving the update as you’ve both been on my mind lately. Keep sending updates as it encourages us all! Hugs.

I’m so glad you are both doing much better Brad. Thank you for sharing your journey. It gives me hope and strength as I will be hospitalized at Mayo Jax for transplant next month.
