Our summer respite has been exactly what we needed. We have enjoyed vacations (NEVER FORGET-don’t ever fly American Airlines), time with friends, time with family and some typical summer craziness. Every day that I got lost in the day to day management of our family and our summer schedule I consider It a blessing. For a moment I could forget this nightmare, but that moment is over.

Though my PET was clear of lymphoma it did show a problematic area on my left (and only) ovary. I had it scanned yesterday (6/27) and it’s showing risk of malignancy. So now I’m being referred to gynecology/oncology to handle Ovarian Cancer Part 2:The tired and overworked ovary. Since we haven’t met with this team yet I won’t go in to the possible protocol to manage this speed bump.

As of today, my transplant team still believes I’m on track to move forward so I have evaluation/testing July 9-10 all day.

I don’t know what I’m feeling besides pretty fucking pissed. I seem to only hit < 1% chances when it’s something bad. 

I sure would like to use that luck to win the lottery or something. 

There’s probably a prayer request in here but I just don’t have the words right now.

Thank you for being a part of my healing journey,

Danielle
