From Gages Mom:
We have good news! Gage's bone biopsy has come back clear! The "flow" shows no blasts and the cybergenetics (F.I.S.H) show no AML or translocation! We are at a very good place for transplant! Another victory to celebrate in this ongoing battle! Thank you so much for your prayers!
Yesterday, due to logistics with the donor (he needed to have the extraction a day early), we needed to give our treatment decision. Luckily, Trux and I were ready and had decided to move forward with the Treosulfan regimen. We feel our research was as thorough as possible and it feels like the right plan of action. We made the best decision possible based on the information available. Onward. Thank you also for the prayers of guidance! The answer just became clear.
So, the Conditioning will start on Feb. 15th and the bone marrow transplant will be Feb. 21st.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Think I'll be taking the 21st off from work. Just going to sit quietly in my yard, look off onto the river, and try and turn a tide.

Great news!
I'll print that pic and carry it with me and hang it up wherever I'm at on the 21st.
I'll be with ya in spirit Chewy, and Gage and family will be always at the forefront of my prayers.
Hugs,
Jen

Wonderful news!!! That just made my day! Continued prayers...
Don, do you know if there is a way to sponsor Sara in the Vancouver race? If not, I will mark the day on my calendar and see if I can get down there to cheer her on!
