Hello all, Chemo number 4 is complete and now we wait for counts to fall! My plateletes and HGB (red blood cells) have needed support through this chemo, so now our chemo schedule has shifted.
This week we infused on Wednesday February 18th and Thursday February 19th.
We will head into get platelets today, and blood next week.
For now, we will receive chemo: this past week -- will need food and lots of love this weekend to replenish my body and mind. Individuals have been asking how they can send food. There are several ways. You can order gift cards from:
1) We order our groceries from DirectFresh.com to be delivered to our door: https://www.freshdirect.com/index.jsp
2) Frank Anthonies: http://www.yelp.com/biz/frank-anthonys-verona
(subs, italians, delivery)
3) Chanti: http://www.chatnionline.com
(Indian, delivery)
4) Spice II: http://www.spiceii.net
(Thai, Delivery)
5.) Casapiquin: http://www.casapiquin.net
(Mexican, Delivery)
We will list more and more restaurants as time comes…
We have also made a final decision that transplant will now occur in NYC with Dr. O'connor and Dr. Jasmine Zain, my team here. It is emotionally, financially, and just easier all around with support. Therefore, Seattle is out of the mix; however, we will still need finances to fund us through this three to six month process, as I will need caregivers during this entire time. This is all the brain power I have now, I will update more come the weekend/early next week.
Thanks for the support and cheering, we need it!
Next round of scheduled chemo is on March 12th and 13th. We are still desperate for candles, books, and food… so send 'em our way!
Love and Light,
B.

Thinking of you as always. I think it's a good idea to do the transplant with Dr. O. It'll be reassuring to have the doctor who's been with you for the long haul see you through the transplant. Here's hoping this chemo is just the victory lap before the transplant brings you a cure!
Hi Bekah. I hope you are feeling well. You and your beautiful family are in my prayers.
Much Love,
Wendy
