It's nice to be able to share good news!  First, from my Aunt Becky about my 17yo cousin Robert, who is now staying in an apartment near Duke Medical Center until his treatments are complete:

"Day30 Post Transplant - More Good News! Dr. Martin called us last night and told us the test results came back showing 100% of Rob's blood is J.B.'s cells which is a very good sign that the transplant has worked. They will test this again in 100 days.

"I was checked off this morning to give Rob's infusions and draw bloodwork. Nurse Sharon said I did a good job, so now Rob and I both can care for him outpatient.

"We are at Clinic again and will come daily for awhile, then 3X weekly, etc. Please continue to remember us in your prayers as we care for Rob and keep him infection free."

And now from my mother, who is halfway through breast cancer chemotherapy treatment:

"I am feeling wonderful this morning, something like my old self.  Went out to grocery and Sam's and Home Depot this morning and acquaintances told me that they love my hair and I tell them it's a wig (or not).  My internist thought I looked great yesterday.  I say "not quite up to normal but good enough, all things considered."  I have the rest of today and then tomorrow and then it's chemo again. Then I only have two more.  YES.  Getting there.  Radiation after that but I hear it's not as bad as chemo. Odd the things we look forward to when pressed really hard.
 
"It's good to have a day when you feel well.  We  never appreciate our health until we are unhealthy."

As always, we appreciate and covet your prayers!
