I was Chris' wife/caregiver & this is the medical blog I wrote during his treatment. Short history: dx in July 2010, no initial bone marrow involvement, did 5 rounds hyper-cvad protocol. Found out he is in relapse/refractory status with involvement in his chest, spleen, inguinal & throat lymph nodes, bone marrow, spine & brain in January 2011 when we went to MD Anderson for treatment. The two different rounds of chemo Chris got at MDA could not put him in remission; he died of leukemia/lymphoma on March 18th, 2011, an astonishing and horrific 8 months after his diagnosis.

update

I will try and post another update when I get home from work tonight - right now I'm off to visit Chris before I head to work. 
I saw him three times yesterday and Mary, Magnus and I visited him briefly this morning before his spinal tap. 
He is feeling pretty nauseous from the chemo drugs but the steroids also make him hungry. 
One of his nurses gave me a schedule of all the drugs he's taking or will be taking while he's there so I can post that later.
He started out sharing his room but his roommate was moved out so hopefully he stays roommate free until he comes home!
Thank you again everyone for all your thoughts and prayers!
