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.

bone marrow test tomorrow

I just got off the phone with Chris' nurse, he is sleeping.  He had a rough night with tummy problems and a low fever (100.4).  His mouth sores have been pretty bad the last few days so he hasn't been eating much.
His counts are still not up, he is getting a bone marrow test tomorrow.  The nurse told me it takes about 2 days to get results from the test, so they should know by Friday.
I'm going to go visit him after he wakes up.
