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.

Monday's counts

hemoglobin:                    8.4 (down 0.2 but no worries as long as it's above 8)
platelets:                          25 (up 13!)
white blood cells:           0.6 (up 0.1)

These are all good numbers and we'll get some more info when his doctor makes rounds later today.  He's perked up quite a bit last night and today!
