CHEMO IS OVER!!!

Well its hard to believe but Magda made it! Yesterday was a big day. Magda completed her 12Th and final chemo treatment. As you might expect she is not feeling all that great today, but our hopes are high for the future. Over the next 30 days much will be reviewed and decided on. PET SCANS will be redone and Magda will need another bone marrow biopsy. (YIKES THIS HURTS LIKE HELL!) God willing, if Magda remains "Cancer Free" we will then need to decide on Radiation Treatments. Given how large the masses had grown in Magda's chest and spine and the fact that the cancer made its way to her bone marrow Radiation Treatment is probably going to be needed to ensure the Cancer does not return.

Then if all goes as hoped SCANS and MRI's will be done every 90 days for the next 2 years or so. Given that Magda had Stage 4 Hodgkin's there is a 20-30% chance the cancer will return. THAT MEANS THERE IS A 70-80% Chance it will not!

Thanks so much to all of you for your encouragement, love and support over the past 6 months. The road has been long and bumpy, but because of all of you it has been bearable. The boys are both doing well and the entire Newman clan is hoping for a brighter and smoother road ahead! Thanks again.
