Drum Roll Please....

BIOPSY on C6 is NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup I'm screaming that! WOO HOO!!!!

Pretty yucky biopsy. Poor Jeremie, was a bit rough on him. But of course he made it through like the hero he is. Not everyone can say they have had a bone marrow biopsy on the cervical vertebrae!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

So what exactly does this all mean? We really don't know. What we do know is that there isn't a metabolically active tumor or lesion on his cervical vertebrae. We know that that the sample that was taken was negative for leukemia. His blood work looks great and increasing to normal everyday. We know that right now...technically, he "looks" like he is in remission.

Our oncologist here is recommending a 2nd opinion at City of Hope Hospital in California. He sent the referral today and was speaking with them today. I'm working on seeing if and what our insurance will cover of the 2nd opinion.

So not a lot of "news" or plans to share, because we don't really have them. BUT...I feel that we are seeing and experiencing miracles :-)

It is so nice that my sweet spouse is feeling good. He hasn't felt this great in months. That, in and of its self is a miracle.

Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to ALL of YOU who pray for us everyday, and fast for us! WE FEEL IT! We know our prayers are heard, no matter the outcome of all of this. We know we are loved, and feel comforted everyday by the amazing blessing everyone is around us.

Love,

Cori
