• Hello!

First of all thank you all for coming Thursday night to the prayer service, it is so appreciated.

I'm doing pretty well. Yesterday I went to the clinic and we got some great news from good old Doctor Thomas. There is a possibility that I won't have to have another stem cell transplant! There is another type of transplant called a Lymphocytic Transplant that I could be doing instead. Annika would donate her lymphocytes to induce Graft vs. Host Disease in me, which would fight off cancer. woo! This would not be as intense as a stem cell transplant and I could get back to normal life sooner. There is a 35-40% chance of it working, which are really good odds. (remember none of this is for sure, for sure yet, pray that the doctors have wisdom on choosing the right course, which i really hope is the lymphocytic transplant).

Let's see, what else am I up to...I'm getting my hair cut off on Wednesday to make a new wig. Which is exciting, I've been growing my hair out for three years and I'm not letting it go to waste! I'm mostly just taking it easy at home, trying to eat, and watching movies:)

Things You Can Be Praying For:

• Blood Counts would come up
• Appetite-this is a big thing for me right now, my appetite is bad and I need to eat to stay strong! And also it hurts to swallow so that doesn't help either. grr.
• Wisdom for doctors

Thank you all so much for your prayers, love, and support. I'll keep you updated on what happens next!

Love,

Karina
