We got word today that the test results from Wednesday show that Kelly is still not in remission. This is so disappointing, as she was looking forward to a break between rounds of chemo. Now they will dive right into the next phase instead of waiting for her counts to bounce back, which means she will not have time to recover from the last month and thus will probably feel the effects of the treatments more.
Mom was also discouraged because it sounds like the Hutch is not open to doing another transplant. We were all hoping for another shot because it worked so well last time - five years! - and it seems like the best long-term solution.
Kelly's still feeling well though and is looking forward to a long weekend of doing some fun things before they begin the next round on Tuesday.

One thing that we all admire about Kelly is that she shows us what tremendous courage she has and continues to still enjoy the things in her life that many of us take for granted. I know that Patty and Don will continue to work with the doctors on what they feel is the best treatment for Kelly...that transplant! It was a
"miracle" last time for her.
We must remember that Kelly's cancer has never followed the norm. She is unique not only as a cancer patient but as a person. We also must remember that though the last transpland was great it was an experiment so who know what God and the Dr have in store for Kelly this time.
God Bless all of you that continue to pray for Kelly and her doctors and all that care for her and for her family.
