Today the results confirmed that Jan's cancer is Double Hit/ Double Aggressive.
So what this means is that she will check into the hospital tomorrow morning at 8 am. She will have 5 days of continual infusion of chemo and she should feel good while while she is receiving it. After that she will get released probably Monday. First they will give her a treatment which will give chemo - something called Methotrexate, directly to her spine via tube to treat any lymphoma in her spine. After her treatment in the hospital, she'll be sent into Utah Cancer Centers to receive a booster shot for her white blood cells.
On her 2nd, 3rd and 4th days in the hospital she was told she would get bored, so visitors will be welcome with a phone call ahead of time. Also - one of the medications they may be giving her for nausea and anxiety makes her pretty...loopy. If you call and she's not making sense (discussing pirate fairies going after her cancer cells and becoming a potato bug that allows her to roll down stairs) please know she's on the famous drugs and it might not be a good time to visit. (This has been a good source of laughter for our family)
This Sunday, Jan's ward will be having a fast for her and we welcome everyone and anyone to fast for her that day as well.
Also Jan would like to let everyone know that one of the medications she's on gives her really shaky hands and she apologizes but texting is extremely difficult and she's sent some illegible texts for which she's sorry.
She wanted to let everyone know that she has every plan to beat this!
Again we thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes.
