A lot of people have been asking about Breanna and how she's been doing.. I have avoided people only because we were dealing with so much and it was too painful to talk about. We were told 3 weeks ago that her transplant was not successful. The chimerism (donor cell %) was dropping and the goal is to get to 100%. The pain and hurt started all over again like it felt on June 4 when she was first diagnosed. Her biopsy that was done when she left the transplant unit showed 30% mrd (cancer/diesease left). We were already talking about a possible 2nd transplant. Once again my baby told me she was really scared.. I told her it was ok to be scared, but not ok to give up. After we talked about it she was ok and her attitude was amazing. I'm telling yall I have such a positive little fighter who tries to keep a smile on her face even through the pain. Last Wednesday her doctor told me all of a sudden her chimerism (donor cells) was 100% in her blood. Since Bree was running high fevers for 2 weeks and the chimerism % went up her doctor did another biopsy on Thursday. I got the results today and her MRD (cancer/disease) was 0.9%. The donor cells have been working and attacking!! Best Christmas present ever! Who believes in miracles.. because we sure do! Please continue to pray the donor cells fight off the 0.9% that is left. Looks like this transplant is going in the right direction! Thank you Jesus and thank you for all of your prayers! Merry Christmas!!!
