We are now into day 3 of the chemo. Anne got the Mylotarg on Tuesday and she said she felt a bit of bone pain in her pelvis while the I V was running. The pain stopped afterwards. That was it for the Mylotarg now she is getting the Ara-C and something that begins with Fl...... There have been some minor bouts of nausea but so far she is doing OK. She's spending a lot of time focusing on her internal process both physical and spiritual. Her moral is high with rock solid confidence that she is on the path to healing. To me she looks more beautiful then ever. I'm not sure I will recognize her when her hair grows back. Sunday will be the last day of chemo, then the next few weeks watching the numbers and dealing with the aftereffects of the drugs. I'll let Anne fill in more of the personal details as she is able but for now your constant and continued prayers are the best medicine.
Much Love
Dennis

Yesterday (at long last) I got the kit for tissue typing my blood for a potential stem cell transplant. Samples are winging back to California for testing with results available in about 2 weeks, according to the flyer sent with the kit. A sibling has a 25% chance of being a match. There are also 6 million potential donors in a registry that can be searched by computer.
I talked with Anne on Wednesday. She sounded wonderful. She said the drugs are Mylotarg, Ara-C, Fludarabine and Idarubicin.

Thank you, Dennis, for keeping us informed. I am so happy to hear that Anne is feeling so confident that she is on the path to healing. This is so important.
Anne, keep up the good work. You can do this. I love you.
