As many of you know, my sister Deb was in remission from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia after receiving a stem cell transplant in February 2006. Unfortunately we received news this afternoon that she has relapsed. Figured you guys would want to know. I do not have any information from the doctor if it is the same form of leukemia or something different.

She is in the hospital ER now in Houston receiving platelets. It sounds like she will be receiving more treatment and another stem cell transplant. She is frightened and determined. She suspected that she had relapsed so this isn't a complete shock.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. You can give her some support by leaving a message in her blog comments at http://www.debutaunt.com .

I wish I had come back here with something fun to say. That's always a much better deal.

I am so sorry that she has relapsed.

I'm sorry to hear about Deb's setback. Best wishes to her and the extended family.

Sorry to hear this. Keeping Deb and you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Bix. Continuing prayers from here.

I had hoped never to hear this, but I know Deb can fight back again. My best wishes and prayers go to everybody -- Zoe, you and your other sisters and brothers, your parents, and -- most of all -- to Deb.

Crap and double crap...I am sorry Bix. Hang in there for her and we will hang in there for you.

I am sorry to hear this - I have a colleague in Nashville who is fighting a similar battle. He recently spent 4 weeks in Houston at Anderson getting treatment - they've identified a great match for him, but he needs to get into remission before they can do a transplant - they will both be in my thoughts.

I"m sorry to hear this news. You and Deb will be in my thoughts.

Damn!

O.K. My uncle has beaten leukemia it twice now (maybe three, I can't remember its been so long since the second (or maybe first) time I might be mixing memory. But I know he has beaten it at least twice.

Go get 'em Deb!

I'm so sorry, Bix and Deb. Thoughts and prayers winging their way out to both of you.

Bix, I'm so sorry -- all best wishes to Deb.

I hope that next time, the news is good.

Sucks.

We'll be thinking of you both.

Shit. I'll know she'll fight it for all it's worth.

Oh Bix, I am so sorry to hear this.

Hugs to you and Deb and the whole family.

Oh, Bix! No!

Deb is such a strong fighter. I know she will continue to fight. She can't. She won't.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

She will kick its ass. Repeatedly if necessary.

I'm so sorry to hear this. But I know she's a fighter. Prayers and healing vibes coming her way.

Sorry to hear about this. I'll send my prayers and vibes to her as well.

Deb is in my prayers, Stephanie. I am very sorry to hear this.

Sending hugs and prayers your way and Deb's way...

I am sorry to hear this news. I feel like I know Deb and know she is a fighter. She is in my thoughts. Hugs and kisses to all.

My prayers are with you. Wish I could send her some platelets.

Sorry to see this Bix. You, Deb and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry to hear this. I know Deb can keep fighting it.

{{{Hugs}}} to Deb and Zoe and you!
