There have had a few inquiries asking how Connie is doing. I know we have not posted anything since Connie was moved to the U of W Medical Center and accepted in the clinical trial through the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
Connie is doing ok; she received her last Chemo treatment today for this round. There were a few side effects along the way, but nothing that was considered a complication. She is scheduled to receive her “magic cells” tomorrow and if that goes smooth, they will let her go home for a few days. Of course this is what we are hoping for, some time home with her husband, her sons and her little dog. Just getting a little of ‘normal’ back into her life.
This week Connie’s son from Texas and her brother from Utah were in town and I know seeing them meant a lot to Connie.
Connie is scheduled for a ‘bone marrow biopsy’ around October 3rd or 4th, this will tell the doctors what level her Leukemic cells are at. We are hoping she will have gotten to the “zero” that will put her in remission.
Please know that as much as Connie would like to see friends and family if she goes home, they are essentially sending her home with no immune system, so visits will be even more limited than they are now.
Again Connie and her family thank you for everything everyone has done for them these past 7 weeks, you are all a blessing to her.
