  my aunt definitely has leukemia.  so now we wait to find out what the genetics will say, as far as prognosis and what forms of treatment are available.  most treatments are forms of chemotherapy, although there is at least one monoclonal antibody, and bone marrow transplant, if we are lucky.  strange, to be talking about luck in the context of cancer.

  i am not ready for my aunt to die, in a selfish way.  i will support her in whatever decision she makes, but i remember that my mom never got the option of the transplant, so i hope that my aunt does reach that point.  i also wish that life was easier for her financially, but we play with the cards that we are dealt . . .

  tomorrow i also find out what the custody evaluator says about physical and legal custody of my daughter.  so stay tuned, or not . . .
