Life with NO MORE Leukemia - January 29


It's Sunday Post time!  This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.

What I Got:


Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto - I'm super excited about this one.  It was on my most anticipated reads for 2023 and I couldn't hit the accept button fast enough when it was offered.  (Publisher)

Currently:


Reading:  Wined and Died in New Orleans by Ellen Byron and Search the Shadows by Barbara Michaels

Listening:  Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn


Will is LEUKEMIA FREE!!!  He was diagnosed in June of 2020 and has gone through 3 phases of treatment with the last one being 120 weeks long.  He received his last IV chemo Tuesday and will take his last oral chemo this coming Monday.  He had a spinal tap and bone marrow test and both came back negative for disease which means he is officially in remission!

It was a long week with lots of appointments and two different procedurals.  We got back from Memphis yesterday and are flat out exhausted.  I think I could happily sleep for a week!

Have a great week and happy reading!

    I'm THRILLED to hear your news! That has massively cheered me up this morning - I'm delighted for all of you. And yes... you need to be very kind to yourself and give yourself time to process all that you've gone through - exhaustion... elation... anger... grief... happiness... Dealing with a chronically sick child pulls at pretty much every emotion we have! Big hugs all around, Katherine:)).xxxx
