The Story and the Prayer...

Hello Sweet Loving Community

Today we saw Doc Martin. I thought it was going to be Monday. But today we got the story and the plan of action

Firstly I want to say I am just going to lay it out there without fluff, but know I am faithful and ready to fight.

I am going to begin treatment on Jan. 28. Doc Martin said he felt fine with giving me some time to heal and gain weight. This was one of my concerns.

The treatment is out-patient.

I will be given a shot 1 time a day for 5 days in the clinic, this is a chemo shot. My hair will not fall out, my counts will drop. I do have to stay away from crowds.

The second leg of the treatment is a pill that I take for seven days. It is an anti seizure med that also helps to slow down the production of Cancer cells ( I think I am understanding that correctly).
I will be off Steroids and still be somewhat immuno-suppressed, but they are hoping to trigger some Graft vs Leukemia, and Graft vs Host. Again to get rid of the Cancer Blasts, just like before but bigger and better.

I will have this treatment for 4 months. So each month I will go thru the cycle of 5 days of shots and 7 days of pills.

Doc Martin was devastated and shocked considering all the GVHD I had and how well I was doing.

But this is where we are.

I don’t like percentages but I will tell what he said because it is important for me to say this out loud. There is a 10% chance of this working. Before the Percentage was like 30 to 50%.

I am strong and young he says. We have options and will try them all till we don’t have any options.

My heart is breaking but only because it needs to, to get to core of my strength to find the new level of whatever it is that is beyond any limits that might be there.

I’m grateful I get to wait, and get strong and do my best to gain some weight.

So there you have it the truth, the plan, the surprise of the year, the story, my life, my fight, My prayer.

Thank you for everything for the love the continued prayers and light, for everything.

Love Love and Nothing but Love

Namaste
