Hi everyone!  
I am taking a moment to connect & catch up. I am back in Charlotte & will be here until next Monday.  I start transfusion chemo Wednesday  for 5 consecutive days; an aggressive attack on the fast growing AML.  THEN I GET TO GO HOME UNTIL NOV 5 (can you tell I am excited?). Following these two rounds of chemo, along w oral chemo,  doc will know next steps. 1) more chemo bc the  cancer cells are still growing or 2) pause and see if I need bone marrow transplant (bmt) .   I am hoping I won't, but remaining open.

The journey has been taxing, but nothing like what I have yet to face. 
If I need a bmt, and I am hoping I don't, it will be a rough 3 months- one in the hospital & 60 days at home w a caregiver near the hospital.  That is my next big challenge; finding who will be with me for those 60 days and paying for that. Needless to say, I hope I do not need the bmt. 

I don't know what else to say except throughout all of this   I feel so Loved & blessed. 

I am trying to stay fully present & listen to what this cancer has to say to me.  Some days are better than others. 

All prayers and energy are welcomed. 🙏🏽🌹🐝🫂

Hi Angelina! It's great to hear directly from you and know what all you're going through and what may be down the road as far as treatments go. Yes there is a lot ahead, and I hope it won't be the most extreme treatment. I hope and pray your body is reacting to the chemo and that it has positive results for you.

I'm sorry we never had that cup of coffee to chat, but we will make a plan for that in the future. Meanwhile, stay strong. Many are praying for you and sending our love.
Love to you,
Nancy Scott
