Here we go again!
So the first time you hear you have cancer its shocking to say the least and there is not much time to even comprehend whats next you just kinda roll with the punches. The second time its a huge punch in the stomach.... So hear I am back in the hospital... Long story short I had some abnormal lab results two weeks ago that looked more along the lines of a viral infection and my Mom was really sick and I felt fine (still feel fine) and so we just decided to re-check again in two weeks (last Monday) So on Friday my Dr. called me and said that my blood work showed the Blasts (cancer cells) and that I would need to check into the hospital to have a bone marrow biopsy.... He gave me the weekend and we decided on Monday morning I would check in. So I took full advantage of my last weekend for a couple months and I had a great weekend with so of the best friends a girl could ask for... I was admitted at about 6 am yesterday had the biopsy and now we just wait... Since we have no idea what is really going on... A couple positive things are since I went into remission so easily last time I will more than like just receive the same rounds of chemo I did last time since well they worked and kept me in remission for about 16 months and a great 16 months I might add! Secondly is because I was in remission for 16 months they don't imagine it being as aggressive as the first time... So I do the 3 rounds of Chemo and then head around to couple of different transplant programs and get started on a bone marrow transplant! I really don't have any information and probably wont for a few more days so until then were just sitting here!! So please keep myself and family in your prayers!!!
