Jesus, God of my heart, come and unite me to Thyself forever.

The CAT Scan showed that everything looked good all the way down through her throat. The mucositis is still very painful, but, thankfully, it isn’t an infection.

My Dad was finally well enough to spend the day with my Mom. They were playing games when I last called. Supposedly, my sister is “kicking their butts”. My [...]
The doctor ordered a CAT Scan for tonight.
I don’t know anything else. I’ll post again when I know more.
In case you haven’t been able to check my other blog, here is the recent update on my mom. I am going to try to start blogging on here again- I miss it too much!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was my mom’s worst day so far.
She has severe mucositis (sores) in her mouth. Not only does her mouth [...]
The biopsy that was done on a different section of my mom’s hip came back completely normal.
This means that the leukemia is completely contained in the one spot– which doesn’t even make medical sense!
My mom meets with the top leukemia doctor on Wednesday afternoon. At that point, we should (hopefully!) know the treatment plan.
I have a hard time hugging my mom right now. I tear up every time or make a joke so that I can laugh instead of cry. I have always been close to my mom, and seeing someone you care about so deeply go through such a difficult time can be excruciating.
My mom is in [...]

Today my mom saw her oncologist, and he did another biopsy in her right hip bone. He was able to retrieve bone, bone marrow and blood samples. He said that the blood looked good. If she were in an acute stage of leukemia, her blood would be thick and hard to remove, but hers looked [...]
The grand jury of doctors were not able to come to a consensus about my mom’s condition. However, most agreed to treat her leukemia (she does have leukemia- I was wrong about that before).
Her current hemoncologist will be doing another bone marrow biospy Thursday afternoon at 1:00pm which will be looking at specific genetic factors.
Then [...]

This afternoon my mom had an appointment with an oncologist in NYC. He is one of the top oncologists in the country and was the #1 oncologist in 2007. And he is baffled by my mom’s cancer.
With the myloid sarcoma that she has, my mom should have acute (stage 4) leukemia- she should be dying. [...]
A big thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. Words cannot express how much I appreciate your prayers.
Things are going fine here. Tomorrow is the big day. My mom’s appointment is at 2:15pm. If you can, please remember to pray for her at that time. She is very nervous- and I am [...]
Sorry for my absense. We are in NY and we know the results of my mom’s biopsy.
My mom has cancer. She has a myloid sarcoma.
We are staying in town through Monday, which is the day that my mom has an appointment with the oncologist. At that point we will make some big decisions. We may [...]
