Hi,
So we met with the big doc (he is awesome) and he said my blasts went from 24 to 6 and that he believes the trajectory will continue downward. The plan is to go home tomorrow (AHHHHHHHH!!!!) and rest and recover and go back on Aug 19th-Aug 22 for 1 last out patient treatment. My counts need to recover before I can do a second dose. I will be seeing my cville doc for labs 3x a week. For the next cycle- it will be 1 fewer treatment and smaller doses. Then in 4-5 weeks I should be ready for my transplant. I will be in complete remission which is ideal. Of course I asked if I could skip the transplant and he said no- the remission will only last a few months and then I'll have leukemia again. Just thought I'd ask. This is the best case scenario. I'll be at UVA for about a month and then home recovering for 3-6 months. (same as in Richmond in 2010). I think the hardest part is over. It's a marathon.
So James and I are mostly packed up. Our niece, Maggie and her husband Matt and kids Kara and Lana came over for dinner. James was great with the kids and I got a chance to catch up with Maggie. She and Matt and their girls are wonderful and it was a pleasure to see them.
Needless to say, I can NOT wait to get home.
Ok- lights out!
