Great News!
The transplant team agreed that Myra should be put back on the kidney transplant list!
She will resume the physical that is required for the transplant. If you recall, she started this physical in November and that is how the breast cancer was found.
Time lines are unknown right now but she has taken a step in the right direction!

5/5
I've got some potential good news to share!
Myra's medical files are being presented to the transplant team at Abbot Northwestern today. Both of her primary doctor's agree that she's 'stable' now and all of the instability was caused by the liver abscess.
I'll keep you posted!
Edited to add: Myra's name was removed from the list when her health declined earlier this year. The meeting today is for the transplant team to agree that she is a viable candidate and should haver her name put back on the list to receive a kidney.

5/2
I noticed its been over a month since my last post so I thought I'd check in and update you on Myra's status.
Myra is doing well! She's getting stronger and becoming familiar with the layout of the house again and feeling more comfortable with being home, and loving every minute of it!
She was fitted for a prosthesis this week. If you recall, she had a mastectomy in November.
She did have some blood work done today because she's having hot flashes and they can't quite figure out the problem. Let's just say she's beyond the point in her life that she should be having hot flashes. She didn't enjoy them the first time around and she certainly isn't enjoying them this time either.
She'll be going in for another MRI later this month to make sure the liver abscess is still healing.
That's about all. She is reading (books on tape) like crazy and would love a book recommendation if you have anything you think she'd enjoy. She's well read and likes everything from mystery to documentaries.
