Great News

Here's the latest from the Oncologist. My white blood count is down to 6000, but I am anemic. Remember a normal white blood count is between 4000-10,000, in October mine was 9000, without doing another hip bone marrow biopsy I am in a remission state. I am to take my chemo pills with me when I have surgery, Dr. Colquitt is aware I have to be given these every night while in the hospital. She faxes him her reports on me so he is kept up to date on my leukemia. Now it's just 34 more days. ing for joy. My 3x sizes are already baggy on me. I went from 283 to 268 in the last month, enough that I was able to walk some today without the use of my wheelchair until this afternoon. I am totally worn out and ready for a nap. So I am off to for a couple of hours. y'all, Kathy
