Holy cow! I feel abou 10 pounds lighter (which, incidentally, is not a good thing right now)
I just received the call with my biopsy results and found out that I am officially in remission.....my blast cells were less than 5% and I can officially move on to phase 2 of the treatment WHEW!!!
So we were able to take down this cancer from 97% all the way to about 3%.....not too shabby, and that 3% had better watch out.
Words cannot express how much I appreciate the love, prayers, and support from everybody reading this and everybody in my life. It has been inspirational to hear from so many loved ones that have been with me through this journey.
This was evan's fortune cookie from lunch today: "There are 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes, it's what you do with them that matters". Not sure how that applies, but it seemed really profound.
ALL will be very very well
SOOOOOO Happy for you Dan!! Things are truly looking up every day for you now :) We love you and are continuing the prayers for you and your dad every day. Hope to see you Saturday - if not, we will find a way to get out to see you soon!!

Great news! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteHip Hip Hooray! Well, I am totally not surprised! Because of the strong faith from you, your dad, your mom, your brother, your beautiful fiance, your entire family and your outstanding friends, you are kicking this rapidly because there is NOTHING that will ever get in your way!! Just as your dad is kicking his monster too, your bravery comes first from him and then of course you-know-who. Keep up the strong fight because you will be the winner by far with a knock-out in no time at all!! I love you so much!
