My Story

Abby was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) on November 16, 2007. After her first month of chemo Abby's cancer is in remission! She'll continue to have chemo until January 2010 at the MCCP and at MMC.

Read her journal to see how she is doing. Abby is a STRONG, HAPPY, BRAVE little girl! She's really given us a lot to be proud of and makes us smile!!

Abby's ANC has come back up to normal levels, so tomorrow...

After over three weeks of delays, Abby will restart chemo!

Even though it has been a nice vacation for her, she says she is ready to take the medicine again.  (What a trooper!!)  She probably doesn't really remember not taking it!  Brian and I are ready to have her taking chemo again too.  The protocal is for her to have these medicines for another seven months, so it is scary to think of the consequences of not taking the medicines accordly.

Friday night, Abby participated in her second Relay for Life...a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  Abby started the evening by walking a special survivor lap with Brian.  Andrew, Libby, our friends Ali and Danette Benoit, and I then joined her.  Obviously her foot wasn't bothering her...the girls ran/walked over a mile!!

Abby will have labs again on Friday and then off to clinic we'll go on Monday.  Whew...a lot has happened since our visit last month!  Hopefully June will be a quieter one for her than May was!!
