Hi all,
As many of you know, Kerry got some tough news this week. Here's her update from Facebook:
"Looks like the fight is not over yet folks. Unfortunately my bone marrow biopsy showed 60% leukemia blasts. Back to square one. Please continue to support me in my fight against cancer. I will have more details about what's next tomorrow after meeting with my Leukemia specialist. I did it once, I'll do it again. The fighter NEVER quits. I love you all."
Since finding out, Kerry has checked back into Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. She is currently in the ICU being treated for pneumonia. Once the pneumonia is under control Kerry will be moved to the Leukemia floor where the doctors will outline a new plan for battling the leukemia.
Kerry reads your comments online even if she can't always respond - please feel free to comment here or join her facebook group:

Also, this Sunday - the Bergen County Ancient Order of Hibernians will be participating in a Polar Plunge to support Kerry and another family in need. Our brothers Dan and Ken Kelemen will plunge into the Atlantic to raise money for Kerry! If you're in the Sea Bright area- please stop by, it will be fun!
Thanks as always for your love and support!
Hi Kerry,
ReplyDeleteI just read about you on FB on Positively Positive, and then I just read your blog. I have worked in the laboratory for 25+ years and understand what you are saying medically. From reading about you, I can tell you are a fighter and a very strong lady. Please know that I am praying to God for your body to heal and that you will continue this fight. You are precious! You have inspired me! Ida

Hi Kerry,
ReplyDeleteI just found your site through a post on Patch.com. We met briefly in the clinic waiting room at Sloan awhile back. (Not sure if you remember us, but my husband Tom received his BMT in August, and we are also from Rockland county.)
You are an inspiration. You are touching so many lives. If there is anything we can do to help you or your friends and family please let us know. We still go to Sloan every couple of weeks right now for clinic so we could offer rides or bring things to/from the hospital; whatever we can do. Please be in touch through Tom's blog (http://tomstransplantjournal.wordpress.com).
sending love and strength, Lisa, Tom (and Leela) Kelley
