Amy has gotten through the second round of chemo, which meant the hospital was finally able to discharge her to an acute rehab facility. (She’s been in a hospital bed for more than a month, so she needs some therapy to rebuild muscle and such.) Unlike the hospital, which was an hour+ from home, the rehab facility is only 20 minutes away, which means I’ve been able to split time between there and home.

There’s not really much else to report. From what they can tell, the chemo is doing its job so far. Amy’s in much better shape than she was a month ago. But we have a long way to go before we’re through. The current plan is for 3-4 more rounds of chemo, followed by a bone marrow transplant. We’ll be back staying at the hospital for the next round in a couple of weeks. Not sure if subsequent ones will be able to be done closer to home or not.

Thank you again for all of your support for my wife and our family. It means a lot to know we’re not alone.

I'm glad it seems to be helping and that she's so much closer to home.

Continued best wishes. My dad was lucky and didn't need surgery with his cancer, just chemo and radiation. Be sure to screen your kids for symptoms of sniffles while she's recovering from the transplant! (speaking as a person who is immuno-deficient)

Here's hoping for things to continue as smoothly as they may for as long as possible. Luck and love.
