Celebrate! Dance to the music!!!!!

[Zazzy]

Okay gang... it's official!

I received a report yesterday from the lab concerning my latest test. You may remember that I recently had a bone marrow aspiration to see how the Gleevec was working on my CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia). Well..... get ready.......here goes.......

"Of 600 cells analyzed: 0% (that is a big fat GOOSE-EGG!!!!) showed a positive double fusion signal. 4.8% show a single fusion signal. This is within the limits st by normal controls for this tissue type."

All I can say is YIPPPEEEEEEE YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

One down (bma), two to go! This doesn't mean that I am cured of this disease, but it does mean that I am in remission and staying well ahead in the race!!!

Hmmm.... might have to make my trip a state-to-state tour!!!

Thanks so much for everyone's support through this! It sure means a lot to me to know that even "broken" hearts have room for caring!!!!

Love,
Zazz
