We spoke with our nurse at M D Anderson yesterday and learned two things: there are no longer any donor cells in Suzie's blood and the Revlimid she is taking seems to be an effective agent for managing her cancer. Although we are no longer looking forward to the cure that the transplant promised we are thankful that we pursued this course. Suzie is alive, her quality of life is much improved and there is hope that the Revlimid, and other potential treatments, will help her stay this way.

Best to all of you,

Mike

And the beat goes on...

Suzie's strength is holding and her blood work continues to improve--that shot she got last month and the Revlimid she is taking appear to be helping. We're on our way to Houston next week and the testing they do there will tell us if the donor's cells are on the rebound. We should learn the results of these tests by the end of February.

God Bless,

Mike
