November 21
Hi everyone! It's Melissa again. I am back in NH for a week. My mom will be coming home tomorrow :) We are so excited. She will have 3 weeks off after that! They are meeting with the bone marrow specialist on December 7th to start planning for that. We are waiting to find out if her brother is a match. If not there are many other options. I would encourage EVERYONE to consider being put on the bone marrow donor registry. The process of being put on the list is just a simple swab in the mouth. If you actually are ever a match for someone, the process is more involved, but you have the potential to save someone's life! I just signed up to be put on the list. I know how important this is now and wish I had done it sooner. Here is the link to join online: http://marrow.org/Join/Join_Now/Join_Now.aspx. They send you the kit in the mail. Thanks for all your support! We are so glad my mom is now halfway through chemo!

Melissa, welcome back to NH, I'm sure your mom was happy to see you. Julie, glad to hear you are coming home tomorrow and that you have 3 weeks off from chemo and you are halfway through chemo! Stay positive, think of you often and I find myself checking this blog often for updates so I don't call as often as I want too. Lyn xxoo
