My mom currently lives in Savannah, Georgia, far from any close relatives. Mike and I just moved to California and my brother David, a Captain in the United States Marine Corps, will be deployed soon. Although I have been fortunate enough to have life align in such a way that I can take time to fully devote to my mom in Savannah, this is not a sustainable model. After her first necessary cycle of Hyper-CVAD chemotherapy here in Savannah, Georgia at St. Joseph's Hospital under the care of Summit Cancer Care's doctors, we transfer her to Southern California where my mom can be near family and continue treatment there. There are many great Leukemia cancer centers like UCLA and City of Hope in the Southern California region. We will have discussions with our doctor to determine the best location of care for her - proximity to family and quality of care.Our family and friends far and near have been incredible pillars of support. I don't know what we would have done without everyone.
