Although graft versus host continues to torment Suzie she is active, alert, engaged and otherwise behaving s if nothing ever happened. Doctors are taking additional steps to help her manage the cancer, which is still active, so she will soon start taking the drug Revlimid, a derivative of Thalidomide . Additional blood will be drawn on October 30th so doctors can determine how much change has taken place in the donor/recipient relationship. We're praying that the increased graft versus host is an indication that the donor is making a comeback. We should have the results of these tests in late November, early December.

Love to all,

Mike

Just thought that everyone would like to know that Suzie is pretty much holding her own these days. The battles with graft versus host continue, and she's had a couple of minor colds, but we've also been able to help a good friend celebrate her wedding and another good friend celebrate his mother's life. Next big test should take place in early-mid November and we hope to have the results i early December.

Love to all,

Mike
