It was nice not having to go to work after driving home on Saturday. It was nice to just be at home with the kids. Unfortunately that means that I have a lot of work ahead of me this week to catch up. I think I on here that the clinic here couldn't get Sarah in until Friday. I guess that the appointment will be one where we talk about how to treat Sarah. We need to make a decision on CNS positive or negative. Hopefully with that being a major topic, it means that Sarah was a rapid responder. I did forget to mention that when I picked up paperwork on Friday that I tried to see the results of the bone marrow. The machine didn't come back yet, but the smear under the microscope didn't show any blast cells (cancer cells). That is a good sign.
So I also learned some more about what a blast cell is yesterday. ALL, is a cancer of the lymphocytes (white blood cells) and the cancer cells are called lymphoblasts. So when the doctors are referring to blast cells, they are referring to the cancer cells. I am sure that the doctors had told that to us early on, but it didn't stick in my head.
Thanks for all the love and support. We feel the prayers and the love you have for us.
That is wonderful. Hope all the test results come back the way you hope.
