Great job Owen!! Thank You.
Anne was sleeping on and off today as expected but managed to order me around sufficiently for me to know she had not given way to the drugs. I was a little worried when I purposely tacked a card on the bulletin board crooked and she didn't protest when I refused to straighten it.
Everyone has been so incredibly supportive and it truly makes a difference in her recovery This is going to be long process to her eventual cure and there is every reason to believe that she will be cancer free at the end of her full course of treatment.
The treatment protocol will take approximately five months.She will be in the hospital (UCSF) for three month long chemo sessions with a month at home in between each session. Currently she is in room 1132 in the Long hospital wing. She is receiving excellent care from a very warm and compassionate nursing staff, and the love, support and prayers from all of us.
Please post any questions you have regarding the process or details you're curious about. Much can be found on the web looking under Acute Meyloid Leukemia.
As far as visits go we will have to take on a day to day basis as we have no idea what she will be up for. Right now she needs to lay low and keep visits to a minimum. But she will need someone around as an advocate and we're working out a schedule that can be signed onto.
Again, thanks to everyone. Anne is grateful for all the love and prayers coming her way, as am I.

Owen, How wonderful to have the blog. You did a great job. Despite our great stress and grief that this should happen to our wonder-ful daughter (Your Mom), we have great faith that she will pull through this horrendous treatment. Her many cousins (and yours) and Aunt Charlotte and Aunt Chrissy are all sending their love, prayers and best wishes to your mom and to you and Lucy, your dad, Dennis, Ruthann and all her friends. Angela's letter was wonderful and we appreciate her help. Of course, you know that we send our love always to your mom and to you and Lucy. We're praying very hard. Remember that we are
here for you. Is there any thing we can do?

Hey papa and grandma,
Thanks for your support, I know this is a tough time for everybody but i share your faith that she has the strength and will to pull through this illness. I don't think there's anything you can do to help at this point, outside of your support, but thank you.
Owen
