My stepmom went in last Wednesday for her next round of tests and she got the results yesterday. Her antibodies are up, so they're still calling it a "smoldering" stage. She'll go back in 3 months for the same round of tests and some intravenous bone strengthening meds.

Much appreciation for continuing to keep her and our family in your thoughts/prayers/what have you!

I just got an update from my stepmom. All her results came back and there are no tumors. I'm assuming this means she is, in fact, in a dormant phase and they're just in "keeping an eye on it" mode right now. She'll go back in June for more blood work and another bone marrow biopsy.

Thanks for all the good thoughts, prayers, vibes and well wishes! I keep meaning to go back and answer all of the comments from the last post, but writing the post itself put me in an instant depression and it took a few days to recover. So, I'm trying to think about this in small doses.

I will say one thing about this situation, now. Alicia went to a doctor originally because of nausea and general gastro-intestinal discomfort. When they didn't find any of the typical ailments, they turned to running some blood tests. They found that she had cancerous cells in her blood and apparently blood cells were cloning themselves. My point is, if you're feeling under the weather and you're just not sure what might be causing it, go to the doctor. You never know what simple stomach upset might mean.
