Well, I saw Dr Forman today, and it was great news!! He said the
Malforan (the chemo I had during the first stem cell transplant)
worked way better than he expected. He said I am basically in
remission. So, he moved up my second transplant to next week. I'll be
admitted on Wednesday, my mom's bday. He wants to move up the date
because he doesn't want to give the disease a chance to grow back, he
wants to hit it while its down and that will increase my overall
chances. I am so exited, finally some good news!! So I will be
admitted on Jan 24 and will be there for about 3 weeks. I am so bummed
about having to go back but the next few days i'll be able to prepare
myself mentally, which i think is the most important part about all of
this. After I get out in Feb, i'll have more scans to detemine whether
or not i'll need radiation. so it's a waiting game for that.

on another note, we got our first letter from jack today!! he said
that he's loving it and misses everyone from home. he also mentioned
that he can do 60 pushups "no problem" haha.

thank you to all those who are thinking of me.

carpe diem
