As most people reading this know Jan was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-cell type) on Friday August 3, 2007.
Since it's hard to keep everyone informed all at once, I've set up this blog to help keep everyone in the loop. And to help document mom's fight with cancer.
Jan has been given a few day passes to come home and visit over the past week, which has been wonderful for everyone. She's doing very well and is in good health (other than the obvious problem!). She had a Hickman line put in on Friday (Aug 10th) and came through the surgery for that quite well. I got a chance to see it on Sunday and it's not pretty! LOL
Jan goes to Princess Maragaret Hosptial (PMH) this morning (Monday Aug 13th) to check in and start treatment.
Hopefully Mike will have an update for us tonight.
For those who would like to learn a bit more about ALL there's a great PDF document on the Leukemia and Lymphoma website. Click here
Thank you to everyone for their love, support and prayers. I know it means a lot to mom that she's got such a wonderful network of friends and family supporting her.
