Happy

Happy Easter, Happy Passover.  Sorry I have been MIA since Tuesday, the days at home go by so quickly! This week we had appointments to keep, decisions to consider, and holidays to plan for; now it is Sunday night, Friday we had a wonderful Passover dinner with the Scannella's, spent Saturday afternoon in Connecticut celebrating Easter with family, and a relaxing Easter Sunday at home, ending with a family dinner. Tomorrow is back to the hospital for Sarah's sixth treatment, this one could be the last "regular" treatment, of course we won't know for sure until April 20th when she will have an MRI to determine if the Lymphomas are gone. If the Lymphomas are gone we move onto the consolidation phase, which takes place at the Cancer Institute, and involves more chemo and the stem cell transplant. If the MRI still shows evidence of the Lymphomas, there will be additional treatments before the consolidation. Either way Sarah is more than half way done, and looking forward to moving on to bigger, better, and happier times! Although there continues to be both good days and bad for all of us, I am so proud of Sarah for the strength and determination she has shown throughout this ordeal. I am looking forward to the day when I can announce that my daughter has finished all of her treatments and is a happy, healthy, cancer survivor!! In the mean time, please pray for not only a complete recovery for Sarah, but also for an end to this horrible disease once and for all! Love and happiness to you all, Maria
