It's been a while, hasn't it? I suppose that's pretty rude of me -- when you have a blog about having a terminal disease, vanishing for two months isn't exactly "nice" to people who get news about you from it. So sorry, for what it's worth. I know anyone I actually know personally that reads this, however, can (and does) text or call to get updates if I'm gone from here too long.
The news hasn't been good which is the primary reason I haven't written. I've certainly thought about it a lot these past few months, but this is painful to me -- understand that most of the time I keep composed about all of this by doing my utmost NOT to think about it. I can't do that when I write, however -- it just all comes streaming out and most of this cancer-related stuff is really hard on me, emotionally, to keep going over and over. But I will try to keep this updated more.
To make a long story as short as possible, I was doing pretty good mentally and emotionally and then I got my 60-day results. They indicated that the stem cell transplant hadn't been very effective. That subsequently sent me spiraling into depression but I still tried to keep my spirits up, telling myself that Dr. M. at the Mayo Clinic had said the 100-day results were really the ones to pay attention to.
