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.

new room

They finally had a single room open up back in 7SW (oncology) so he's back where he belongs!  And I don't have to wear a mask here so he gets to see my face and I can eat and drink in the same room with him.
And there are no restrictions on visiting hours here so I can go back to staying as long as he wants me too, woo hoo!
