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

Chris and I went to the cancer center today for an appointment with his Dr. and to have his levels checked.  Dr. appt went fine, everything is on track.  His counts are low but not too horrible, he'll be getting the GM shots everyday this week and round 4 starts Monday.
He's feeling pretty terrible right from the effects of the GM shots but should be feeling better in a little while.
Mostly we are enjoying seeing our beautiful boys face!  He is too cute for words!
