Biopsy results and next steps

Hi everyone. Just a quick update. I found out on Friday that, unfortunately, the biopsy results showed no change in my cancer after four rounds of chemo. Needless to say, this has been pretty depressing, and I’m still processing the news. The cancer’s not worse, but it’s also not better. Big next steps like a transplant are on hold until the disease shows that it is responsive to treatment.
 
The doctors have decided to change to a different chemo cocktail called Jakafi that focuses on the myelofibrosis rather than the myelodysplasia. From my quick Google search (of course), it looks like this will be a pill rather than an IV or shots. I'll find out more, and the new treatment will start later this week or next.
 
Please keep fingers and toes crossed for a holiday miracle.
 
Love,
Joanne
