祝福瑜珈老师

Hello to all of my amazing family and friends!

 

WE DID IT, GANG!!!!!  With your help, I am doing super!

 

I'll be in touch personally, I'm sure, but I just had to let you all know that we just found out that my bone marrow transplant was a success!  YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

What this means in the simplest of terms is that we now know the graft is working (meaning I am building a new immune system and a healthy new body), that there is no longer cancer in the bones, and that all those nasty tumors have been zapped and are gone!  It is so exciting; we are so happy that "happy" doesn't even begin to describe it all.

 

This type of cancer doesn't really go into "remission" because of it's nature in the lymph system, but the plan is that now my body will be able to recognize the cancer cells and stop them from building new tumors. How cool is that?  So I can just hang out and be well and then when a cure is found I'll be all ready to go!

 

I'll be doing some maintenance chemotherapy as soon as the bone marrow can handle it to continue stacking the cards in my favor.

 

Enough of the technical stuff...

 

I just want to say thank you to all of you with all of my heart.  Tears are pouring down my face (yes, again!) because of all the love I have for each and every one of you.  I know, without a single doubt, that your love and prayers and support and friendship have made this possible.  I feel your healing thoughts lifting me up every day.  And I focused on our love, our friendships, and our closeness the whole time I was in isolation, doing chemo, handling the transplant, etc. 

 

I feel so lucky,  So blessed.  So renewed.  So relieved.  So thrilled. So sassy.  So feisty.  (Oh oh, I am seeing a trend!). So strong, so ornery, so ready to play, so ready to hurt all my gym rats, so ready to climb every mountain..................... you get the picture.  Look out.  I promised you that you would all get to see me roar.  Here it comes, and it's going to be a loud one!

 

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'll be in touch with each of you.. just had to let you know and to thank you.  Oh my darlings, thank you so very much.  I will forever be thankful for all of you!

 

All my love,
