Quick Update: Home Sweet Home

I have been sick with a chest cold since John and I returned to Florida last Saturday. That's why I haven't written to update everyone. It's no wonder I'm sick because the CAR T therapy tanks the immune system.

Yesterday I saw Dr. Joudeh and had labs drawn. As soon as he saw the results, he called me personally to tell me I would need to go in for filgrastim injections three days in a row starting this afternoon with another three-day regimen next week. That, along with the Bactrim APRN Michelly prescribed, should bring my counts up and give me a fighting chance against these bugs.

Thank you, everyone, for the phone calls and text messages asking for updates or just wishing me restful comfort. I appreciate it very much. As soon as I'm feeling better, I will provide you with more details on my PET scan, the bone marrow biopsy, and my ongoing observation and treatment for Day Zero +35 and beyond.

God bless.
