Today Kerry found out that her brother Ken is a BONE MARROW MATCH!!!

We have a match!!! This means kerry will have a transplant in the coming months!!

We cannot express how incredible it is to get all of this great news this week after so many months of fighting.


Thank you all for your constant support and generosity. Kerry still has a long way to go. The bone marrow transplant is a long and difficult procedure, but our family is staying positive thanks to all of our amazing friends, neighbors, and family!! THANK YOU!!!

Good News Everyone!! Kerry's biopsy came back and she is officially in a remission! We are all so happy! There are some more cytogenetic tests that have to come back, and the docs are still pouring over the medical records from Canada, so there is no treatment plan in place yet. In the meantime, Kerry is enjoying visitors and taking advantage of all the activities Sloan offers. Keep visiting! B+

Hello Everyone!!
Kerry arrived back in New York last night in good spirits. After a nap, she was able to attend a benefit her friends were having for her for a short while. Seeing all those who have been supporting her from afar was energizing. The whole family appreciates everyones generosity and your positive love and energy. B+

Hello Everyone!! See Kerry's note below!! B+

hi everyone! i cannot thank you all enough for your support through this difficult time in my life. right now i am still recuperating from my 2nd round of chemo which kind of knocked me off my positivity kick for a bit but things will turn around and i will eventually be cured of this sickness.

all your kind words and support are the biggest help right now. once my next biopsy is finished we will have a better idea of when i will be coming back to the states to continue my treatment. so everyone hope for remission this week!
i am especially thankful my mom has been here with me and for damians help and support through this. i couldnt do it without them or any of the positivity you all send me.

thanks again for everything. i love you all so much.

Hi everyone. Kerry is working hard to feel better. Your thoughts help a lot. She is trying to hold down food, and is working on weaning off the IV meds. Bone Marrow biopsy will be early next week. Pray for remission!! Thanks for your support and keep leaving her your thoughts.

Hi All!! Kerry is beginning to get on the upswing. Each day is getting a little bit easier. Right now, she is enjoying a visit from Dad and Uncle Gil as well as Mom. Please continue to send love and inspiration! All the siblings have sent in their buccal swabs to be tested for a bone marrow match. Please pray that one of us will match. Thanks for supporting Kerry! B+
