Yesterday we received some good news from my doctor in Chicago. I had a bone marrow biopsy on Thursday of last week to determine how much of the Leukemia is still in my marrow. The results came back with a significant reduction of cancer cells. I'm not in remission yet, but very close. So that was good news! The downside of this is that they want me to have more chemo before my transplant in May to keep the disease under control. The chemo will probably start again later this week. I'm not looking forward to that, but overall progress is being made, and I'm happy about that.
I've been eating like horse these last two weeks because I haven't had chemo. I've gained nearly 15 pounds in the last two weeks because of that. It's been so nice to be able to eat what I want and just enjoy food again.
