My brother this time .............

Oh the ups and downs of cancer ................

Well folks prayers have been answered. When Mom left the hospital 4 weeks ago she still had leukemia cells in the 12% range with very low platelet count. She had a doctors appointment 9 days after being discharged. The blood work done just prior to her doctor visit revealed platelet count higher than she's had in 6 months and the doctor was pretty amazed. He scheduled a bone marrow biopsy for last Friday. Her platelet count the last 2 weeks have steadily increased. Hell she cooked us dinner last week.

We got the results of the biopsy today, no leukemia cells!! Doctor said he can clearly state she's in remission ...... :biggrin:. She's scheduled to be admitted next Thursday for a low dose chemo treatment for 5 days as preventive maintenance. All we can figure is the last radical that damn near did her in caused her body to take some time to respond to the treatment. Needless to say we are great-full for the good news and all the prayers.

Thanks,

Dawg

Congrats Dawg!!!!! GREAT news!!!!!!! :thumb: :beer:
 
Thanks all !

The doctor is pretty amazed at how this went down ...... all he could say when he saw Mom was "Mary oh Mary, this is truly fantastic". I'm sure he was proud of his decision to extend her last radical treatment by 2 days and it worked. He stated the chemo she took on was a young patient dosage and not one normally recommend for patients of her age. After her treatment, she was very sick to the point of serious concern as stated in my post last month. We're just stunned yet happy of such a drastic turn around.
