Yesterday (Wednesday Dec 17) we got the results of the bone marrow biopsy and GREAT NEWS…no cancer in the bone marrow. This doesn’t change the treatment protocol; but I am sure that it significantly affects the prognosis for the better. Margo was very relieved (as we all were) to have this news. Tuesday was not a good day and despite still not experiencing symptoms, I am sure that Margo’s mind is working overtime. She said that she fears that she has these renegade cells multiplying and taking over her body. Jon, Kirk (our daughter Jamie’s husband) and I administered to her Tuesday night and I think that the priesthood blessing really helped. We are in Wyoming tonight for the Christmas celebration tomorrow with the Rock Springs staff. We will be rushing back to SLC to attend a Neil Diamond concert Friday night (one of Margo’s favorite artists). The whole cancer thing seems like just a bad dream from which we hope to awaken. The recurring question in my mind is what could Heavenly Father’s agenda be for Margo and her family and couldn’t there a better way to learn the lesson we need to learn. We are grateful for the priesthood, faith and prayer and the tools of modern medicine all of which aid in the treatment of this terrible disease.
