Waiting game...

Mom was admitted on the 10th and her chemo started the following day or so.  She only got chemo for about 4 or 5 days, so then the waiting game starts.  This Tuesday (4/24), Mom will get another bone marrow biopsy to determine if this round of chemo has worked.  If it worked, then we wait for the counts to recover and start the road to the Stem Cell transplant.  If it didn't work, then she'll get another round of chemo and we'll pray for it to work. 
We will update more on that front when we know.
Now, for Dad...he has completed the work up for the liver transplant team, which he was doing for the last several weeks while Mom was admitted.  After his PETscan, there was a need for more bloodwork.  There is a potential that he may need the y-90 treatment afterall, but we will know more after he meets with Dr. Kwo on Wednesday.  When we know more about Dad, we'll update too.
Thank you to everyone for all of your prayers.  We certainly believe in them and believe that they will work!
