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.

6 days off

Saw the Dr today and his levels look good. He starts part B of his first round Monday morning.

Here's a link to more info about his schedule/regimen of treatment:

Basically he has 8 rounds, consisting of 4 rounds of A treatment and 4 rounds of B treatment. A and B are each 3 week cycles. He is on day 14 of his first round of A treatment.

It will be nice to have these 6 days off of trips to the CCK/Hospital!
