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.

out of surgery

He got out of surgery at 11 and I spoke with his surgeon.  He said it was a bit tough getting it in but it went well and Chris talked to them about food and his favorite restaurants during the surgery.
He is in a recovery room now and then should be going up to oncology from there.  Hopefully I get to see him soon!
