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.

Chris is at home

Chris was released around noon and is sleeping at home.  He will have labs Thursday morning at the cancer center to determine if he can be admitted to the hospital that day for round 5.  So he has about 2 days before being in the hospital for 5 days of chemo.
I'm quite exhausted so this is a short update.  He is tired but better than he was days ago.  I will post again after I get all the things on my list done and get some sleep.
This hospital stay has been particularly rough and we are both quite drained.
