Topic: Platelets are up, Michigan here we come.

Lauren went and had her blood drawn at our local hospital today. Her oncologist's office called this afternoon and the results were faxed to them. Her platelets went up to 275 from 79 last week. So chemo is on for tomorrow.
Round 10.

Hoping for a miracle for my daughter, Lauren.

Hey Betsy. Lauren says Hi right back and told me to tell you she is thinking about you. Can't wait to see you again. Take care.

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes. We love each and every one of you!

Re: Platelets are up, Michigan here we come.

Aren't we strange people...? We celebrate when our bodies have recovered enough from the last terrible round of chemo so we can have another...

Praying that the chemo will go straight to the cancer cells and leave all else alone.

God Bless!
