Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Rick, I am so saddened to hear this news. I feel like I really know Jan from your stories...what a fighter and great young woman...she continues to be an inspiration for all of us. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. Jill Mom to Mac (5 yrs., Ds) and Kit (20 mths., Ds) Not-so-good news Wednesday's bone marrow biopsy was " packed with blasts. " That means recurrent leukemia. Jan has been really good about it. She will be going into the hospital for chemo starting on Monday. Just what happens hasn't been revealed yet, but the news just isn't good. Still, the past year of remission has been a good one. Jan has gone back into her independent living setting and the apartment was vacuumed, the bed made, and the kitchen clean when I picked her up a week ago. The signs of leukemia just weren't there. She's dragged all the sticks and brush from our harsh winter to the pile where I chipped them and raked so many leaves that the huge compost bin has gone from half-full to overflowing. Today, she was outside shooting baskets, something she's pretty good at. As usual I'm far away. It was Jan who told me what was going on. She's open about it even if she's scared (and so are her parents). She's been part of the decision making. She agreed to the bone marrow test, even though it is extremely hard. Her response to the recommendation for chemo was, " I can do that. " They love her on the cancer floor, which she visited on Wednesday after the bone marrow test.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Oh Rick, I'm so sorry to hear this news. You and Jan and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad she's still in such good shape (from the sound of your post). Elaine Not-so-good news Wednesday's bone marrow biopsy was " packed with blasts. " That means recurrent leukemia. Jan has been really good about it. She will be going into the hospital for chemo starting on Monday. Just what happens hasn't been revealed yet, but the news just isn't good. Still, the past year of remission has been a good one. Jan has gone back into her independent living setting and the apartment was vacuumed, the bed made, and the kitchen clean when I picked her up a week ago. The signs of leukemia just weren't there. She's dragged all the sticks and brush from our harsh winter to the pile where I chipped them and raked so many leaves that the huge compost bin has gone from half-full to overflowing. Today, she was outside shooting baskets, something she's pretty good at. As usual I'm far away. It was Jan who told me what was going on. She's open about it even if she's scared (and so are her parents). She's been part of the decision making. She agreed to the bone marrow test, even though it is extremely hard. Her response to the recommendation for chemo was, " I can do that. " They love her on the cancer floor, which she visited on Wednesday after the bone marrow test.
