Hello!
Zach's "soldiers", as he calls them, are coming back. So.....now its time to recheck his bone marrow to make sure the first blast of chemo got rid of the leukemia. Tomorrow is the day they will recheck his marrow.......if there are 15% or less blasts (leukemia cells) he continues with chemotherapy for the next 6 months. If there are more than 15%, he goes for bone marrow transplant. So tomorrow is the big day that determines the course. Dr's feel that he will have less than 15% based on many things including the chromosome type the leukemia cells are and that the blasts in his blood cleared so quickly once chemo started. I feel very confident that he will meet the criteria to continue chemo.
We also found out that we "may" get to leave the hospital for 1-2 days next week before starting the next 8 day cycle of chemotherapy followed by another 2-3 weeks in the hospital. Zachs response was "yeeessss". He never complains.
Gotta go for now....the boss is wanting to get busy with playing for the day.
His rash is just about gone and he has been fever free for 3 days. Thank you God!!
