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.
quick update
His counts from last night show that he is not neutropenic, his neutrophil count is the best it has been in over a month. He has not had a fever since he has been at the hospital last night. If his blood cultures come back negative for infection we are speculating that maybe, maybe they will let him come home. Hopefully anyway!(IMAGE NOT COPIED)
