I haven't been writing because I have felt so good that I have been doing things around the house and getting out a little bit. I also have been at the doctors alot these past two weeks.My counts weren't that good last week but on monday they were better. Except, my HB counts were low so on Tuesday this week I had to sit in the hospital for six hours and get a blood transfusion. And then Wednesday I got a PET Scan. I went to the Doctors today so they could check my counts and let me know about the results, BUT they didn't have the results yet so as soon as I know something I'll post and let you all know whats goin on. The Doctor says that he is pretty sure that the scan should show that the tumors are smaller or gone all together. I have some shopping to do this weekend and if I don't get a chance to post I want to wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! I was suppose to go back into the Hospital on monday for the fourth cycle but I asked the Doctors if I could spend X-mas at home with my babies and they said since I'm doing so well that YES I can. So I don't go back in until Saturday the 26th. Much Love to everybody I'll try to post soon. Until next time........ Bye

Hi Tina:
ReplyDeleteI'm a Burkitt's Lymphoma survivor and want to really encourage you! I have several friends who have Burkitt's as well. I was diagnosed in early 2007 and had a bone marrow stem cell transplant at City of Hope in Pasadena, California in December 2007 (my 2nd "birthday" this month).
The Burkitt's treatment is brutal, as you know. It's so important for you to know that there if a FABULOUS LIFE for you on the other side of this whole thing. I wanted to give up several times, but I had friends who prayed me through it. I was fearful about what was on the other side of treatment. But, I must say that I am happier now than I've ever been in my life. I appreciate life much more and I have greater peace. Please hang in there and don't give up hope. It's a YUCKIE process, but Burkitt's is treatable and "curable." My friends with Burkitt's and I are all doing really well now. So please be encouraged!
Many blessings & I'll say a prayer for you!!
John
