Hey Bobby,
Dang! It was hot.
But the good news is that bone marrow tests showed that I am clearly in the
normal range--actually a bit in the below normal (but you all knew that)
range for lymphocytes--which is extremely good for someone with
leukemia--that's what we are fighting against (lymphocytes become
teenagers--they never grow up, and never die off, and just hang out in the
blood and bone marrow)
We are waiting on a very precise DNA test that could predict the closest
thing for a cure. For an in curable cancer this is extremely exciting stuff!
Thanks for asking!
What's new in your world?
Laura
