Blood Work Done---Update on Sandi

Back home from the hospital where they pulled yet more blood out of Sandi in preparation for chemo tomorrow. This will be round six of her chemo and we hope and pray her final round of it. We won't know that until she has the next PET Scan in late April.

If, by some miracle she comes back clear on that, I think the plan is for another scan about three months later. I'm really not sure what would happen as we have never all talked about it. It has been too much to hope for---especially when she started this process so gravely ill.

The more likely scenario is hopefully the cancer has retreated a little more which would be a sign the chemo is working. If that happens, then there would be another set of chemo sessions. The number and frequency to be determined based on where hse is as compared to the last scan.

In the meantime, assuming we emerge from this today's threat of severe weather unscathed, we have chemo in the morning and go from there.
