Please Help Deirdre Through Her Cancer Journey


Almost Home!

9/20/2026

 

After 24 days in LA including the last 12 days in hospital, my chemo treatment is done and my new cells have been planted. Now we continue to have them engraft and grow. It has been as rough as they say it is  but my spirit is strong. The best part is I am on track to be discharged in 3 days! That is what i am looking forward to. After we are home I must rest and repair so I’m not going to be able to see anyone at all for 30 days. The first 100 days are so important to my recovery and getting my strength back. I’m looking forward to seeing you during the holidays this year and getting ready for 2027. I will update soon, God bless and thank you again for all of your support and prayers
