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.

feeling good

We had a wonderful few days at Chris' parents house for the holidays.  Lots of good time with Magnus and Mary took some pictures for the holiday card so this time we will all be in the photo!  
Chris has been feeling really good lately, the best actually that I have ever seen him after he's had chemo.  I realized the other day that this is the first round that he hasn't had 2 doses of chemo in his spine, so perhaps that can account for part of him feeling so much better than normal.  He has bouts of nausea but his meds are helping keep it at bay.
