The Doctor facetimed us today with the results of Deb's bone marrow biopsy. She just said,"yes" and hung-up. No, Dr. Indu was great! There she was in her facemask and shield, so we asked if need our masks, too? Her reply was we never know what gets transmitted across the internet. What a comedian. The results were more than we could have hoped for. Deb's sample was sent to the UVA pathologist, to their cellular lab and to a high end lab of national standing. Deb has no cancer cells in a sample of 100,000. The word is remission (and a hallelujah). After the success of the stem cell transplant, the probability of reoccurrence was 40%. With the latest results, the probability is only 15%. If no cancer is detected at the end of year, that drops to ZERO. Remember when this all started many moons ago? Those memories are giving way to the beautiful ones to come.
The wonderful memories of past successes and future celebrations are filled with you, our friends and family. God is pretty smart with sending you to love us. Thank you.
