Even after mom was discharged from the hospital, she still had to go back every day for a quick check up.. (quick being a relative word after several weeks in the hospital). This week she got the "all clear...we are through poking and prodding you for a while" and she is finally home to rest and get strong and not think about doctors and needles and toxic medicine for a few weeks.
They got more than enough stem cells, which are being stored in a freezer just waiting for their chance to shine again. In late March, mom will return for more tests, like she had before this first round, to make sure she is ready for round 2. Then in early April, she will have one day of chemo, and the very next day she will have her stem cells put back in.
They have said to expect 20 days in the hospital this time, but they have also told her it will be easier than the first round.
She is enjoying being back at home and is working to regain her strength. Other than that, she is going to be a lady of leisure until the end of March!
Keep praying! And keep checking back for more news, photos, and praise reports.
