chasophonicThanks to all for the good wishes, hugs (virtual and physical) and offers of help.
Cecilia is going home from the hospital today after only 12 days of the expected 3 to 4 weeks she was expected to stay. She has responded amazingly to her treatments. (I think it takes a lot to amaze these doctors). She has beaten the pneumonia even with the immuno-suppressing chemotherapy for the leukemia. BEFORE her second round of chemo earlier this week, there were no traces of leukemia remaining in her blood. The abnormal cell count in her bone marrow was down to 45% from an initial 80%. She has had almost no adverse reaction to her chemotherapy (two rounds now). She is cheerful and has a good appetite. Pretty much her old self. Aside from the reality that she does have leukemia, we couldn't be more pleased.
She will still have to go through the 2 year treatment regime, but it seems it is not going to be the ordeal it might have been for her and all signs point to her kicking some cancer butt.
