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.

surgery and round 4

Chris will be getting some blood work done tomorrow to make sure his levels are ok for surgery on Thursday morning.  He'll get the portacath put in and then also start round 4 that same day.  
Since we'll be at the hospital anyway for his registration and blood work tomorrow we will see about taking a tour of the oncology department to see what it looks like.
New nurses to get used to and back to the chemo grind very soon!  We hope the nurses at his new hospital are as good as the ones he had in Wichita!
