Day 214

Today I got my port removed, a very big psychological victory for me.  It was great having it during treatment but it was always in the way at home with the kids and never let me fully relax while doing activities.
It was a simple procedure that I elected to have under general anesthesia to be stress free for me!  I am doing good and just relaxing at home now. Just a few days of rest and I should be back to normal.
I am continuing to get stronger and build my muscles daily.  I am walking further and faster and able to do more normal activities.  I am so blessed to have this all behind me during the Christmas season.
I will get labs done every two weeks and then another bone marrow biopsy at the end of February just to make sure everything is good.  After that I should move to having the biopsy every 6 months.

Thank you again for all your support and prayers.  Merry Christmas everyone!!  

Day 202

I am cured!   Thank you Jesus!

The full results have come back from my biopsy and it was 100% clean of any leukemia cells.  There was no genetic signs of any leukemia!  My treatment is done and there is nothing left for me to do except get my port removed and continue to gain my strength back.

I will have a follow up appointment next week with my oncologist to go over my plan moving forward, like how often to get blood tests, biopsies, and such.

Thank you for everyone's prayers, support, help, encouragement, and love during this time.  My family and I are very grateful for everything.  Merry Christmas to all!
