Cora
If you are checking this blog, you know Cora has been diagnosed with leukemia. We just found out that her leukemia is (ALL) Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. This is the type with which they have had the highest success rate in most patients. We do not know the degree of aggressivness of ALL. There are varying degrees. They sent genetic tests off to find that out. Those results will be back in about two weeks. In the meantime she will have a portacath put in on Monday. At that time she will also receive a spinal tap (to check fluid)and injection of chemotherapy. After that we will start steroids and the initial chemo process. Monday will be hard on her. To date, her spirits have been pretty good and she has been a trooper! Thanks for caring about her so much!
