Martha's Marbles & Other Marvels

Cancer Survivor and Stem Cell Transplant Recovery

Harvest's Over


Martha could only make it five hours on the machine today, but they're almost sure that enough stem cells were collected today. If not she'll be back on it tomorrow. She had several visitors today too - Dr. Kasow, transplant doc - Stacey, transplant nurse - Michael, brother - Mom, mom - Amber, new friend/patient (in the pic).

The results from the randomizer were returned today to tell us what study protocol we will be on for the HOBIT. Guess what! No Massage, No Relaxation, No Laughter. Martha landed on the control group. How can that happen twice! She landed on the control group for the video game trial she participated in at Saint Francis. What darned luck!

Martha, you are one good-looking chick. I am so proud of you. I am very thankful that you seem to be handling all the procedures so well. I love and miss you and your mom. It amazes me how much you have already accomplished and you have only been there a short time. Take it easy on your mom because us moms are very protective. Keep your brother and father in line. And remember that we think about you daily. Lots of love, Dad and Arletta
