Leukemia 101

This blog is for and dedicated to my mom Robin. Robin was diagnosed with Accute Myelogenous Leukemia on March 16th 2010. After some tests to find out the cause of her fatigue, it was revealed that she had a low hemoglobin level. upon further tests and a bone marrow biopsy doctors determined that she has Leukemia. So with that being said this is her story.

Going Home...forever

I guess on some level I knew the day she called me to tell me that the cancer was back that this was the beginning of the end. After an exausting 35 days in the hospital she was sent home yesterday (Thursday). We got into town and when I walked in to the hospital room she said "I am going home...forever." She had 40% blast cells in her marrow when she went into the hospital before the chemo and she now has 42% after the chemo...there are no options for a bone marrow transplant since she has to be in remission for that to happen. So........she has come home to live out her remaining days in the comfort of her own home surrounded by those that love her. She is in good spirits and would love to see people. Phone calls are great too.
