That's what my oncologist had to say to me today! Rock on!!!
Everything is looking great! There has been visible improvement in the bones and all organs are still clear! WHOOHOOO! Tumor markers are down to 78.2 now. Bloodwork has been fine. I don't have to see her until August. We had our meeting with the transplant team, but they thought I was through with chemo and were wanting me to start the process of the transplant now. They are only taking one person at a time for this clinical trial. However, I won't be through with chemo until the middle of July, so they will be starting another person now and I will be next in line, so we are still looking at August/September, which is what we were figuring. The clinical trial is in phase 2 right now. I will be getting the reports from phase 1 to check it out. I am guessing they have had a good response or it would not have made it to phase 2. There is a percentage of women who do real well with the transplant and are essentially "cured" (although with cancer that term is used pretty lightly as you all know, there is no CURE) and I am fitting in with that profile pretty good so far with my excellent response to chemo.
So, we have had a great visit here! We are still in Houston (I have chemo here in about 15 minutes!) and should be back some time tomorrow. Our flight out is at 11:30 am. I think we may stay in Tulsa for a bit and get some Mother's Day shopping (sorry Mom, your gift will be a tad late--but, ya know I love ya!) and some Birthday shopping for Raisa done. I can't believe my baby will be 11!! Time sure flies.
Need to head out, but couldn't wait to share the good news!

Kasey:
so glad to hear about your report!
God is sooooo good! Your Faith has amazed me, you are such an inspiration!! This journey with you has taught me so much, the most important thing is not taking people (family, friends, babysitters) for granted and that time is of the essence in this ole world!!
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
