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 gets out today!

Chris just talked to his doctor and his counts are high enough to come home!  He has been there nearly 2 weeks so he is anxious to get the heck outta there!
He has no appointments until Friday when they will check his blood to see if he's clear to start round 4 on Monday.
