Yesterday was a good day! I am feeling stronger everyday and eating eating eating in hopes of gaining weight! I went to the doctors yesterday and had my blood drawn to see what my counts are. I am happy to say they were all normal and my doc said I'm just like everyone else and he expects me to be in remission when my bone marrow gets tested again in Houston. That is VERY good news! This means that hopefully the process for my bone marrow transplant or egg harvesting can begin as soon as i get to MD Anderson. The thing that is the hardest to grab is that I am cancer-free but I won't be forever. It sucks knowing that I have to keep doing this because my cancer is aggressive and will come back; that I not done with chemotherapy and being in the hospital. I just hope they keep me out of the hospital for as long as possible. I'm still trying to getr my body back to normal from being in a bed for three weeks. It's hard leaving my friends and my jobs; I loved where I worked and I'm nervous that I won't meet anyone in Houston or that I won't know anyone but my doctors and nurses because that's where I'll be all the time. Hopefully it won't be too hard; I am thankful that my family will be there by my side and with me the entire time. Hopefully my brother or sister is a match so they have to live with me for a bit :) We will see in a couple of weeks!
Cassidy and I are having a going away party/thing at Wahoo's tonight to say goodbye to our friends. I hope to see a lot of my friends! I will miss everyone :( i went to my jobs yesterday to say goodbye; it's hard leaving them! I was so fortunate to have the experiences I had and work with amazing people that helped me learn more and become more determined to become a physical therapist. Thank you Linda for teaching me these past couple of years. I am so thankful for everything that I learned and I am excited for everything that I still have to learn! I will miss the crazy life at Diamond Head Chiropractic as well; I hope you all do well and I hope to be as skilled as everyone in that clinic is. I will miss working with you all and I hope to be back one day :)
My mom comes up tomorrow morning to help finish up the rest of packing and then fly out with me to Houston. I can't believe I leave tomorrow; everything seems to be going so fast! Cassidy will be joining us on Tuesday; I hope he can make it to the hospital for my appointment...I need his hand to squeeze during my bone marrow biopsy. :( Not very excited for my third one. That will be a long day for sure! I am excited to get to Houston to get started at MD Anderson...I've heard a lot of good things about the hospital and I know they are going to make me all better :)
I just want to thank everyone who has been praying for me and sending positive energy my way. It has helped a lot to get through these past 4 weeks and I will need them to get through these next couple of months. I love you all and I hope to see some familiar faces in Houston very soon!
-love always, savy
Hey Sav and Tami, well it's really good news! Praying for a match! I was hoping to pop over to HNL for the day , but now I'm sick, so can't : ( . I know you will be in good hands in Houston. We pray for you all, and are so thankful for remission! This is a battle and we are all fighting the demon with you in prayer and thoughts. I hope you will be able to wear your turquoise wig out somewhere! It looks cute! I love and miss both you and Tami, and I thank God for Cassidy.
