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.

Chris at home!

Chris is safely at home!  He is waiting for the nausea to subside and then he will attempt to eat some dinner.  It's good to have him home!  
Today his Dr. said he only has to get 6 or 8 spinal tap chemo procedures, not the 16 Chris and I thought!  So the one he is getting on Monday might be his last one!!!!
The house is santized thanks to one of Chris' wonder friends here, Sandra.  She was a caretaker for her grandparents and best friends during their battles with chemo so she knew exactly what to do!  It was beyond fantastic for her to come over to the house today and help me clean before Chris got home!
