So Friday I went in for more testing, and I received my results yesterday. Great news is the leukemia is basically gone... 99.8% but part of me can't just jump into the excitement of it. I'm glad the Gleevec is doing it's job, I'm thankful that I have been lucky in all of this, I am grateful to God for placing people in my path to help me through it, but there is something else that's just kind of lingering. Why I am not too sure yet... I've had a rough week from that stupid virus, not to mention with Robin and Sam. My stress level has been high, and I've worked hard on keeping unwanted/needed stress to a minimum. I guess it's hard to clean your emotional closet. Some people are easier to "get rid of" than others. And I don't mean that in a bad way, but my perspective on a lot of things have changed since October. I just can't have crazy people around me regardless of whether they are related to me or not. Life is too short for drama. Hopefully this weekend will go better, and I can enjoy the results and be happy.

So I got the call today from my oncologist about my tests from friday. REALLY good news, my blood work is still normal, and the specialty test says the leukemia is 90% gone! I was so freaking excited that I forgot it was early day at school and forgot to pick up Jo! 
Oh well, there goes my Mother of the Year award... LOL! No harm done. I truly have just been in shock! I only started the Gleevec three months ago, and I am doing so well on it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that when I go back in March, there will be no sign on the chromosone level. I cried and cried when he called. I didn't think this would happen so soon! And with all the problems that I've had on it, plus coming off for a few days here and there. I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I am still a little worried. You can never really tell with these things, so I don't want to just ride the rainbow just yet. Maybe I just need to let it all sink in first... There have been so many emotions today, it's been a roller coaster. I guess the best thing is for me to continue to pray, do what I'm doing, and it will all work out.

Amy, This is wonderful news and I'm really happy for you. Do the best you can to keep that stress level down...I know...easier said than done, but this really is great news that you need to enjoy! I hope my news next week is just as good. God certainly has blessed all of us with the great wonder drug...Gleevec. I also am very thankful for all my friends who have been so helpful in getting me through these bad times since November....I'm just glad to be here typing this entry. Take care, enjoy the weekend and enjoy life. Congrats again on the results!

Thank you! I feel so thankful to God for placing the right dr in my path, having this drug available, and being lucky enough to have such great counts! I was having a bad week, still a little under the weather, so I probably couldn't feel like I was that well with the counts when I felt so crappy. I am doing better today. I have a stonger stride, a bigger smile, and a better sense of calm. I hope this sticks around a while! lol I hope and pray that your news next week will be outstanding!! Thank you for being a part of my support. :)
