Update on Mary Travers
Update: For more recent (good) news see this post.
I’m rather late in posting this… An update from Christine Lavin who’s been rallying support for Mary Travers as she goes through a bone marrow transplant.
May 7 Mary is in Day +9 and the good news today is that she had an upswing as her white blood cell count was observed to be increasing . . . Very good news! . . . She’s rather uncomfortable with the side effects like sores and rashes(no sign of the host vs graft rejection . . . knock on wood!) ..but she knew this was part of the procedure and her Doctors are just so pleased with her resiliance . . . They commented that a ‘20 something’ going through this phase of the procedure would be in agony as there is little to offer the patient to reduce discomfort . . . but Mary understands this to be one of the steps to go through before feeling better . . . and she’s dealing with it, the strong woman that she is! . . . Mary is still loving the jokes and messages . . . Her husband said they make her very happy whenever a new one arrives So keep the jokes and ‘get well’ messages coming to getwellmary@aol.com — blonde jokes, all kinds of jokes, letters about going to PP&M concerts — she loves them all. Thanks so much for helping to get the word out. Sincerely, Christine Lavin
