Day 4: Diagnosis

Diagnosis is what they thought. Dr. Vinod came in and explained it is CML based upon the results of the bone marrow biopsy.

He also said to plan to be here over the weekend and we'll see him monday morning since its taking a little longer to get her white count down. ugh.

I guess they are not going to switch from the chemo to the specific drug for her Leukemia, they will be adding it to her regime to get it all worked down.

Now we are asking for prayers that her body accepts the specific drug for her Leukemia as sometimes people do not all respond to it. It would be best if this pill worked otherwise they'll have to go to pill #2 and #3 which are more experimental and not as safe as pill #1. So, prayers now that her body will accept it and she can then just stay on it for the rest of her life and keep the cancer cells at bay.

until later,

Merrick

  1. We'll be praying that the WBC count goes down and that the preferred drug will be very effective. We'll also keep praying for grace and peace for both of you.
