Today starts the last set, in this round of treatment. Jen had not been looking forward to this as it means she will again start to feel terrible. I feel bad for her but I also want her to think of the positive side... This is one step further to being cured.
Alan took her in to MSK as is our routine. I just spoke with Jen and received some very good news! They took an x-ray and see that the tumor in her chest has been significantly reduced! I had thought that the treatment was working but this is empirical data which is better then "I think".
There are no guarantees here. The doctors advised that although this is good news, it does not tell the whole story. This is a blood cancer. Until she has her PET scan on 11/16/2010, we cannot be sure how her treatments are working. The one thing we do know is that the battle is not over. She will have another round of BEACOPP treatment. However, it should not be the elevated treatment that she is getting now. If so, the next round should be a bit easier.
I am sorry to report that the judges have lost track of the entries that have been submitted for the cooking contest. There was a great influx of meals an goodies over that last few days! This is really appreciated has it significantly cuts back on the work load. Also appreciated are the gifts and gift cards that have come in. We have received many good things that help make Jenny more comfortable.
Thank you all for your generosity and prayers! I know we say it a lot, but we can not say it enough!
