Disappointing News---Leukemia is BACK

After passing the 90 and 100 day Bone Marrow Transplant markers and 16 weeks of being home it was shocking to learn this morning that Leukemia is BACK.

The Bone Marrow Doctor was anticipating extending me to monthly labs until the abnormal blood results came back yesterday.
He did a Blood Marrow Biopsy to confirm that Leukemia had returned.

I'm currently waiting for a bed to open up later today in the Oncology wing for to see if another 2-3 day round of a different Chemo will put the Leukemia in remission AGAIN.

Things have gone so well that it is certainly disappointing news but hopefully God plans to use this Plan B in the roller coaster adventure with blood cancer.

I'll post again after this Chemo round and we know anything further.

Initial 2 week interval for hospital trips

Today was our 1st Oncology Out Patient hospital visit for blood work and monitoring on the extended 2 week interval.

We're grateful that things seem to be going along as the doctor expected.

My hair has come back sufficiently for Sharon to give me a light trim. :-)

We're continuing to do small projects around the house.

Trust you're enjoying cooler Fall temperatures and colors.
