0 the chances we’ll emerge from this transplant with a good credit score
1 in 4 the number of Americans that will be struck by cancer
5 the number of years a leukemia patient has to be in remission before they declare him “cured”
5 the number of years Roger was in remission before he relapsed
25 the number of additional years I feel I deserve to have my husband with me
38 the number of days since Roger’s transplant
48 the number of times I wash my hands each day
100 the number of days that mark the first milestone for survival of a bone marrow transplant
1500 the number of calories we struggle to get into Roger each day

~infinite~ the number of days we’re willing to keep fighting
~infinite~ the amount of encouragement we’ll offer others who fight this disease on a personal front
~infinite~ the amount of gratitude we feel for those who learn how to treat cancer and those who research to find a cure
