I can not believe we have not even been home for a day and we received some horrible news. It is with a very heavy, heavy heart that I regret to inform everyone that we just received a phone call from Eric's Doctors at MD Anderson, they received Eric's 90 day mark bone marrow tests results back and he his cancer has relapsed, his cancer is back! I can not believe this is happening- not again, not so soon.
They say that the pathologist is reading that Eric's transplant didn't work and he has relapsed, that his cancer is back. They said that we need to probably do another bone marrow transplant using a different donor. I am so overwhelmed right now, crying pleading to the Lord Why, Why again?
I am begging, pleading with all of you to please pray for Eric, please pray that they are wrong. The board of doctors reviewed the results and talked with the pathologist and they said our only hope is to hope and pray that maybe the EBV virus Eric had and the Rutuxian chemo has thrown some things off, they sent for more extensive tests results rushed that will tell us if in fact the donor cells are not working in Eric anymore and confirm if he has for sure relapsed and if we need to fly back and do another bone marrow transplant. Even though they rushed those tests unfortunately his doctors said that it will take about a week before we have those results. So for now we are to stay home and wait for the results in a week. Please, please Lord don't let this be happening again, please we just got home. Please pray for Eric, please everyone pray and fast this week. I pray the Lord's plan will be what I so desperately want for our family! I don't want to have to tell the kids, I don't know if we are strong enough to do this all over again- we just got home.
It's Chelsea's 16th birthday tomorrow - how do we tell her this and try to celebrate her birthday, how could she possibly have a good birthday now. We tried this whole time to just get her Daddy home for her birthday....please pray for us- we need it!

ReplyDeleteDon't lose hope. I am terribly sorry for the awful news. It does not seem fair. No one should have to keep fighting such an awful battle. Keep your spirits up. I will pray for better news to come your way and the strength to carry on. So sorry. Wish I could fix this for you, or at least carry some of the burden. Hope Chelsea's birthday brings some happiness and laughter to your heavy hearts.
