Biopsy results
I knew it wasn't a good sign, when the Dr who performed the biopsy showed up at my door this evening. They had told us if it was clear we would not know until morning. She told us the results showed a few leukemia cells remain in my bone marrow. She told us of their plan for 5 days of more chemo and then at least 2 weeks of rehabilitation. We both just lost it. I reallyhad thought the result would be leukemia free. I had not let any space for this possibilty in my head. She was surprised at our reaction and told us that this is not a setback, that most people with leukemia need a second round of chemo befor remission. She said a very small percentage of people don't. So I already have the chemo running. My only concern is making it out in time for my son's wedding, and I AM PLANNING ON THAT!! Thank you everyone for all your prayers and please CONTINUE! I need all of you help.

Cindy,
If anyone is strong enough to handle this extra chemo, it is you. Believe in your goal, to be at the wedding. I know you and you will be there. Our family will keep praying.
Devotional thought:
"The Lord will give unyielding and impenetrable strenghth to his people, the Lord will bless his people with peace".
Psalm 29:11
Feel our strength and positive thoughts.
Love and Prayers,
Jude and Shelly
PS hugs too!!!

Hi guys,
Cindy, it's going to be okay. If "most people" need a second round of chemo and beat it, then you will definitely join the list since you are not "most people." Just think, you only have a few cells left, you got most of them and with this 2nd round, they will ALL be destroyed. You have weathered the worst, and after today-four more days to go. One day at a time. You can't let down now, you've come too far. The rosaries are coming again today and EACH of the days to follow until your chemo is over. You need to dig down deep these next 5 days and go beyond shock, saddness and fear and FIGHT with all your strength! You can, and will do this. Be more positive than ever now, Cindy. Focus!

Hi Cindy, I know it's not what you wanted but it's just a bump in the road to recovery. You've had bumps before and over come them this is no different. The most important thing is to get you better no matter what it takes. The unbelieveable amount of people behind you will help you stay strong. We all love you and know you will beat this.

I got up this morning and did my usual rounds on blogs. I read yours first and my heart sunk. I didn't read what I had hoped to read or anyone had hoped to read for that matter. And I've been sitting here all morning trying to think of something to write and have been at a loss. So I asked myself, "What do I do when I'm in a trying time?" I turn to quotes/Scripture because that's what lifts my spirit. After thinking of that I immediately thought of this poem...and after doing a little searching in my "catalog" of quotes etc. I finally found it. Love you Aunt Cindy and Uncle Kyle! Heidi
Don't Quit
Don't quit when the tide is the lowest,
for it's just about to turn.
Don't quit over doubts and questions,
for there's something you may learn.
Don't quit when the night is the darkest,
for it's just a while till dawn,
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
for the race is almost won.
Don't quit when the hill is the steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh,
Don't Quit, for you're not a failure,
Until you fail to try.

I know this hasn't been easy for you, but I know you can do this. You are strong, courageous, and faith-driven. And even though things aren't going the way we all want it to go right now, you are getting the best care and everything is going to work out.....the wedding is weeks away and you WILL be there...you have time for this to turn around and I have faith that the next one will be good news....we're all thinking of you and checking on you often at work....Hold tight to yourself and friends/family...Love, Kim.

Cindy Lou...Well after walking with Dottie this morning and hearing the news I haven't had the heart to read todays update but after many talks with God I know that he only gives us what we can handle and you are such an amazing person with so much strength and love around you, I know that this round is going to be it for you!This is just a fork in the road that no one wanted you to take but sometimes detours are just what we need, this second round of Chemo is going to be the one to give you that clean bill of health that everyone is praying for. I'm sure that for a minute that initial shock had to be awful but don't let this disease take your spirit away, you are stronger than anyone I know and YOU are going to beat this! Take care of yourself physically and mentally and never forget the love and support that comes your way every minute of the day! You are loved by many!

Hi Cindy and Kyle
We read your post last night, and truthfully, I was so stunned and heartsick, that I couldn't write you back. I've thought all day trying to come up with some inspiration. The fact is, it is what it is, cancer is demonic and it makes no sense. You don't deserve this and none of us can possibly understand all that you are going through. However, we love you both, dearly, and we hurt too, in our own way. We want to see you get better, to enjoy your trip to Zac and Lauren's wedding. We want you to enjoy all those years of watching your grandkids growing up. So we are asking you to fight, fight like heck. Kill everyone of those darn cells with a vengence. Just know how much so many of us love you and care about you. We continue to pray.
Love Mark and Jan
