(From Kevin:) Posting on behalf of my AMAZING sister! :) Hugs!

At City of Hope now and have had two days of Blinatumomab.  Feeling "lighter", better.  So grateful to be on this new antibody.  Read this inspiring story about it if you wish.  
Here's an excerpt about a woman on Blinatumomab they did a movie on:  "While Nat in theory still has a leukemia, at this point the chances of her absolute recovery are very high. Her next step is to have a second bone marrow transplant, which, if all goes well, should finally cure her. But if it doesn’t she still has Blinatumomab. The drug is still in clinical trials; its full potential hasn’t yet been explored. It is very probable that it could be used to control leukemia through intravenous injections – just as insulin is used to control diabetes."
And here's the full article.  Very encouraging!

Starting to settle in.  My dear 89 year old aunt and her daughter in law may visit me today.  Looking forward to some company.  It's been a bit of a rocky road getting started and am hoping for some smooth sailing ahead.

Love to you all in the coming weeks/months.  A change in plans and transplant being postponed is a real blessing in design I feel.  I'm a lucky lady.Heidi
