Jill Update

Jill passed away on January 20, 2013 after a 10 year battle against the disease and the side effects of her many treatments. This blog will now serve as a memorial to Jill. Please feel free to add your comments and thoughts.

Latest test results look great

Jill had a data review conference with oncologists at the Center today and it went very well. The doctor said that she is in as good of shape as could be hoped, for the transplant. Jill said the doctor said her tests were "phenomenally unremarkable" which sounds good to me. The PET scan showed "no uptake," meaning there is no growth of the cancer right now. So everything is going according to schedule. The transplant is scheduled for the sixteenth. Harley arrives tomorrow to start preparing to donate stem cells. Thank you all for the notes of support and encouragement.

Doing our weekly check up on the blog site. Thanks to Tom for the effort. Have also talked to Cheryl and try to keep up dated without being in the road. The news is wonderful!!!! I have been able to start reading the blog messages to Grandma Wiseman. She is amazed at the technology and what it can do! But, it helps keep her connected. She loves to know what is going on! Our thoughts and prayers are aimed at the 16th and beyond. Let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do. Mel and Bev.
