Best Christmas gift ever! So we got news that Richard has a genetic marker that indicates that a bone marrow transplant is no longer necessary for him! A board of 8 oncologists met and made this unanimous decision. They have increased the number of chemo rounds from 4 to now 6 rounds. Richard will have an 80% chance of being completely cured after these 6 rounds. We are over the moon relieved and excited to get back to normal life sooner than we had anticipated.  Lots of hope, faith and love this holiday season!! Thank you sooo much for the enormous show of support we have received from so many. We are so grateful for every amazing person in our lives. Happy Holidays!!
