Good news today!!!

Robin left for OSU on Monday to begin another round of chemo and experimental drugs. This was in hopes to get the cancer in remission so that she could begin the bone marrow transplant process. The fact that she would have to go in to the rigorous and dangerous process of a bone marrow transplant weakened by this round of chemo was daunting and very concerning. They didn’t even know if they would be able to get the cancer in remission by doing this. It was definitely not an “ideal” scenario.

However, yesterday we received the most wonderful news. Her cancer had Miraculously gone in to remission on its own. There is no explanation. Her immune system fought it off!! The doctors were both perplexed and thrilled. They ran the test 4 times and 6 different doctors looked at it! There was NO sign of cancer in her bone marrow. She will now get to spend the next two weeks gaining strength and stamina at home with her boys before returning to OSU for the transplant.  This revelation greatly increases her prognosis for a successful transplant
