in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1
With the most sincere apologies for being MIA, I am more than eager to say that today is the day that Kyle is receiving his brand new donor stem cells at The Colorado Blood Cancer Institute. He left last Monday February 23rd, 2015 to sign his final consent, have his central line placed and admitted to the hospital to undergo 5 days of Fludarabine chemotherapy only to be followed with one day of total body radiation. He has done very well and taking it one day at a time.

Leaving us to today, March 4th, 2015 his new "new" birthday!

The only statistics we know about his donor is that she is a 25 year old female from Germany and she is indeed, a perfect 10/10 match for Kyle. How Great is God! Kyle is now more in tune with his roots than ever. Kyle, my best friend Elizabeth and I were joking saying that he is now a bit more "sophisticated" seeing as his cells are international. Haha!

Therefore, I would like to ask of you all today reading this to please take a minute and say a prayer for Kyle and his brand new cells. Please pray that they take and destroy "if any" remaining cancer cells that may reside within his body. Please pray to give him strength, that he will overcome this and move past this mere moment in time. I know it is the Will of God to ultimately decide our fate as it is His Word yet, please pray that this be the last time Kyle will ever have to deal with this ever again. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and thus, I do believe this is how we have gotten this far.

From this point forward, Kyle will be living in Denver till around June or July. Hopefully, he will be able to be released from the hospital this upcoming week. He than will make daily visits to the outpatient clinic. He is pretty ecstatic he will not have to be in the hospital the entire time like he did last year.

Until more is to come, I shall promise to keep everyone informed.

Blessed be,
Michelle

    I had been wondering about you and Kyle. I'm delighted to hear this latest news. I hope he is doing well with his new "Continental" cells.

    I will continue to pray for him. Are you getting to stay with him in Denver?

    Hope and love,

    Rocquie
