To All,Jeff,Trader J,has not posted since 6/27.And i don't want him thinking we don't notice.For those who have not his web-page this was it's last update <<4-12-2001
Well, it pains me to have to give this update, Megan's leukemia has relapsed. We got the news on 3/22, just a few days after our anniversary .... and my bout with the flu (that I got that same night). This was a shock to us as it was revealed through her normal monthly check-up, she was having no symptoms of any kind.
For the past two weeks, she has been in the hospital at the Kaiser facility in Portland undergoing another round of induction chemotherapy. Kaiser does things differently than our last provider, meaning that she needs to be an inpatient during the round of chemotherapy that she is receiving. This time, they are using a different chemo druc by the name of Daunarubicin which is the heavy weight version of her first induction therapy drug, Idarubicin. Unfortunately, this round has hit her very hard and she is also currently fighting off two simultaneous bacterial infections, one an aerobic (requiring oxygen) bacteria, and the other anaerobic (oxygen-free). The only good that can be said about this is that at least it is not a fungal infection, as at this stage, that would be a life threatening infection. She has been exhausted to the point of not even being able to lift a spoon or talk, but now seems to be making some progress. She has been spiking 103+ fevers, but they are controlling the fever and we just have to wait it out at this point.
She has a great support group around her and we thank all of you for your prayers, support, and love. I will be updating more often now that things have changed.>> we're here,friend.PaxMax |
