Alright folks -
just a quick post before I head to bed. Today's scan was excellent news. I am even further into remission than I was prior to the transplant. This is impressive, because there was no chemo to contribute to this remission. It's all Katrina. ..or rather Katrina's cells. They have been hard at work, kicking Fred's ass. This is not only good news now, but good news for the future. Katrina's stem cells recognize Fred as the enemy and therefore are going to continue to kick his ass until he is completely gone.
Ok. Send some love for Kat's cells. I'm going to bed.

Oh, no vague-ness there! Congrats Liz, I know it must be a relief to know the masks, gloves, nausea, etc, are all worth it! You and your body will get stronger each day.
Treat yourself to some fun today!

OK maybe I did not understand your text message right away - but I have been on cloud nine since you explained on the phone :) Can't stop smiling! And day 100 is just around the corner as well...
Great job Katrina's stem cells...sounds to me like OCD and ADD are a fine combination!

Are we surprised that over-achiever cells are doing their job so well? They don't call her 'best-woman' for nothing! Couldn't be happier- a terrific start to the holiday season.

Hi Elizabeth. Didn't know you had a blog. Bill P sends me an email every so often on how your doing and in the last one, it metioned you had a blog. Took a few minutes to find it. Happy to hear your still kicking Fred's ^%#%$#.
I will keep checking out the blog. I'm not sure I will get the inside jokes...I am a bit slow.

Caroline (my daughter) is always asking how your doing. She remembers you from the Easter egg hunt. She liked it so much that it stays with her. We are looking forward to being back this year. Kevin (and maybe Bryan) should actually understand the concept.

Anyway, we hope you get better soon and have a great Christmas and New Year.

Congrats on reaching the 100 days mark - Julie shared the good news! Sounds like you and your body are kicking Frank's butt - I would expect no less from the girl who decorated our apartment with construction lights. :)
