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.

waiting in admissions for bone marrow test

We are waiting in admissions to get checked in for his bone marrow test.  The actual procedure will be fairly short.  Chris is getting some anesthesia this time so it's not quite so painful.  
We should be back home around 10 at the latest and hopefully know some results in the next 2-3 days.  I do not know what the next step will be if his test is negative or if his test is positive.
All we can do is wait for the results and go from there.  
He should have started his 4th round of chemo 3 weeks ago.
