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
