Uncertain

Well, I went to see the doctor Tuesday. And I still don't have any more answers today than I had last week. We are unsure of what the next move in my treatment will be. The doctors have said that I am still showing active leukemia cells in my body and with that in mind, I am going to have to come off of this particular study and protocol for treatment. As it is not in my best interest to continue with just chemo, they are saying that I most likely will be looking at a bone marrow transplant. I'm not excited about this possibility. But as I stated earlier, we are still really unsure of what the next move is since we are waiting back on some more test results. We should be getting those answers today... So please keep praying. I've been feeling very lost and uncertain about where God is taking me and how all of this is going to work out. Physically, I really think the medicines are catching up with me. I'm very very tired often and in some pain, but I press on. I often don't really feel like myself, just kind of lost and confused and discombobulated. When we hear from the doctors there will be a full report and what the next move will be. Many of you have asked about being tested to see if you are a possible match to be a donor. I don't know how you get tested, but I am going to find out. And will post those answers here as soon as I know. Thanks to all of you and I love you and miss you.
