After 11 hours at MDA, I finished my testing yesterday to check to see how my treatment is working. Boy, it is the best place to go for cancer, but they sure know how to check every part of your body, and that's not in a good way! I decided this time not to try to be tough, and got anesthetized for my bone marrow biopsy. What a difference - I woke up sore, but did not have to deal with the trauma of it all. If any of you ever have to do one - take the easy route.
I'll know what all the tests reveal next week and see where my treatment goes from there. If all is well, I'll continue my targeted monoclonal antibody therapy and do my targeted radioimmunotherapy (radiation) maybe in late September. These two drugs work together and just go after my B cells in my blood, which are causing me all my problems. It should help keep the disease in remission.
Keep your fingers and toes crossed that I have good news next week. I'll let y'all know.

We are SO proud of you - what a nice feeling to be through the thick of it. Our thoughts are with you...loving our time with Dave and getting some house projects out of the way too. I think he'll be happy to be at the beach next week and away from our house:)
