M.J.P's Health Update

It's better to have Acute Leukemia, than Anugly Leukemia

Many poeple have been inquiring about mom's health status so I decided to create this page which will give you the opportunity to learn about her condition, on a daily basis.

Today, Tuesday November 9th is mom's 5th day without a fever!!! Also, her digestive system is starting to return to normal so hopefully she will be out of isolation soon. Finally, and most importantly, the results are back from the Lumbar Puncture (i.e. Spinal Tap) and the fluid was free from any leukocytes (i.e. CANCER HAS NOT SPREAD TO THE BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!). Wahoo!!!
She was feeling very weak, pale and tired today but that is not out of the ordinary since she is at the most vulnerable state of her entire life.
