Journal entry by Deb Marshall —
After many ups and downs over the past few weeks—unstable bloodwork, dehydration, lowering platelets, transfusions, to name just a few—Rachel’s port was removed last Monday. She had bloodwork done, as usual, and, surprisingly, her numbers were all within normal range, although she is anemic! When she saw her oncologist, he said her JAK2 mutations are still at 1%, so she is not in remission, but her life expectancy is now at 17+ years!! She returns to see her regular oncologist on March 9th. This is miraculous news and we are tremendously grateful for your prayerful support throughout this very trying ordeal.
