- The next round of chemo will be tougher on her and will likely require blood transfusions
- Depending on how she response, treatment will occur every three weeks
- Chemo is required on her spine because this can spread to the brain

- 50% of anyone getting this form lymphoma after five years is cancer free

Hello Eugene,
Can Rene have visitors? I know that chemo can sometimes compromise the immune system so much that they do not allow visitors. Pleas let me know if there is anything I can do.
Love,
Kathi Lemieux
Eugene and Rene - you are both in our prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do! We would love to visit as soon as Rene is up to it!
Rene, Eugene,
Michelle and I are sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Please let us know what we can do to help.
Dear Eugene & Rene,

With much love & golden hugs,

Rene,
When I encounter a hidden requirement, I will send positive energy to you and Eugene, in this case I should be sending positive energy about every 10 minutes or so! :-) I think you would look good with red hair :-).
Get well soon.

Hello Kathi,
Rene can have visitors because this round of chemo does not take much out of her.
Lots of healing energy and positive thought heading your way.
Love Sue
