Next Steps...

Hello to everyone! I know that everyone has been chomping at the bit to get an update from me. I plan to post a more detailed update once we talk with family about the process, but here is what I will tell you as of now. The node biopsy confirmed that we are still working with Hogkins (and not some other cancer) and that we are proceeding with the stem cell transplant. I promise I will post a more detailed description of what is going to happen, but please be patient as I want to make sure we talk with our parents first.

We feel better now that we have a 'plan' of attack..it might not be a 'fun' plan, but it's a plan and that's all that matters! I will try to post more details by the weekend. Thanks again to everyone that has helped us out in so many ways...keep the prayers coming!

  6. Miranda,

    You don't need to be apologizing for not saying any more than what you did! You and your family do need to figure things out on your own first. It is good to hear you have a plan - that means you will be moving forward to a better place. :)It doesn't even matter when you post updates, the people who love you and care so much are thinking about you all of the time anyway!! So, take care of your needs, don't worry about the needs of others. Keep fighting! Stay positive!

    Love ya lots,
    Heidi
