Still Waiting on Test Results

Jill had an appointment with her oncologist yesterday. We had expected to get the results from the tests she had in Seattle, but the reports are still not available. Hopefully, we will get them early next week. I will add a post as soon as we get the results.

Jill is feeling a little stronger. This morning she and Sylvia are planning to participate in the St Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration (http://www.celebrateall.org/5K/index.htm). The run/walk/stroll event is a 5k distance, but Jill and Sylvia will walk a shorter one mile route. This will be the sixth consecutive year that Sylvia and Jill have participated in the celebration together.

Best,

Off to Seattle

This evening, Jill, Scott and Sylvia are on their way to Seattle. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jill has a series of appointments with members of her medical team at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. This is a planned check-up to determine Jill's progress since her transplant in January. They will check for signs of cancer and of Graft-Versus-Host-Disease. They will determine the need for continuing the immuno-suppressive drugs she is taking and give her a thorough check-up.

While Seattle doesn't bring back particularly fond memories for Jill and Sylvia, they are looking forward to visiting with friends in the Seattle area and seeing the staff they got to know at the clinic.

It will probably be several days before all the results of the tests are available. I will make another post as soon as we get the results.
