I haven't said a lot about my family, but I'd really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers you guys can spare. My mom had lymphoma about 3 years ago and she fought it. She was completely cancer free until about 2 months ago. It has come back in a different spot than before. This is extrememly unusual with the type of lymphoma that she has. They have her on a new drug and have taken a bone marrow sample to see if it's originating there. My sister's and my gut feeling is that it IS in the marrow. We're awaiting test results next week.
In the meantime they can't find any more cancer with the tests they currently have, but she's dropping weight and doesn't look very good. She's only 58. They have talked about giving her some intensive chemo to kill the marrow then do a marrow transplant. My sister worries that this treatment will kill her faster than the cancer will.
I'm 1000 miles away and Mom tries to spare me from worry, so I have to piece together the information as I can get it from various family members. Please keep us in your prayers. There is so much to worry about right now and it's hard for me to enjoy Christmas this year. Thank you all.
