[TheMom]

To those of you I have not thanked yet ~ Thank You for your prayers.

The test results to know which type of Leukemia Tony has will not be back until Monday. The doctors in Temple are going to try to get him into MD Anderson, which would be a blessing for the family because it is a lot closer to everyone.

The doctor also told them that bone marrow transplants may be in future, depending on how it goes with the Chemo.

Thanks for the update TheMom. My prayers are continuing.

With medicine today, it’s certainly not over.

IMHO, M D Anderson is the place to be if you have any form of cancer. They can’t cure everybody, but their survival rate is very good.

The other place that is very good is Sloan Kettering.

If bone marrow transplants are needed, please post your brother's ethnicity mix in case someone may be a match and would be willing to donate marrow. Prayers to you all.

Thanks for the update. You and your family have been on my mind today.

They should not have ANY problem “getting him in” to MDAnderson. In fact, he can refer himself:

https://www2.mdanderson.org/sapp/contact/selfreferral/index.cfm

http://www.mdanderson.org/patient-and-cancer-information/care-centers-and-clinics/care-centers/leukemia/index.html

The sooner he establishes contact with MDA, the better. They can start to get all of his records and will know right off the bat at the first appointment any other testing that needs to be done and will get most, if not all, of it scheduled and done on that day.

Godspeed.

MD Anderson is good. I've seen a BIL through their docs

Prayers continue.

Since it's close to the anniversary, I'l relate it.

I fell on ice. No big deal, unless you are miles away from everybody, and wandered off to get some privacy to answer a call of nature/talk to a man about a horse/bleed a lizard... or whatever euphanism you might want to use for a full bladder.

During a blizzard, on a moutain. Not my best ever judgement.

Slip, fall, ouch.. Like serious ouch. Passing out in a blizzard, repeatedly, hypothermia, internal bleeding, frostbite.

Assurance of salvation and acceptance of my probable future were there also.

But I did make it. Yay! (I suppose... it was nice when things were quiet).

I only lost a kidney and spleen and spent 2 weeks in the ICU.

Avoid if possible.... It always sucks, regardless of how pretty the nurses are.

My first rule, when stuck on a mountainside, during a blizzard, is to check my relationship with Christos. If that's ok, I'll be ok. And that worked for me.

Although, I would really be happier if I had gone home. Not to mention friends and family that know me.

My heart goes out to you, Donna.
Please know that you and Tony will be in my thoughts and prayers.
After my Hubby was diagnosed with cancer, I went through a lot of phases, disbelief, anger..why him/why me, acceptance..
but through all of it, prayer.
Hang in there Girl.
I loves ya, I do!
If I can be of any help, even though I’m far away, please let me know.

[Eaker]

A sibling match is the most likely.

He is my brother in law so I would like to be tested.

[stilloftyhenight]

Continued prayers, Mom. God bless.

[Mountain Mary]

Prayers up, TheMom.
