Tuesday - November 20,  2012

Just a quick note on recent tests and what's next.  The bone marrow biopsy results showed lingering MDS, not at the AML level which is about 10 -15% cancer cells,  No leukemia blasts increase.

CT scan showed normal liver and spleen but fluid in bottom of lungs and gut.  Vidaza (current chem)can cause fluid retention.

PLAN:  Antibiotic for cough; Lasix and Potasium to remove fluid;  and appointment at Duke on Nov. 28th to review treatment and possibly add an experimental drug called Revlimid.

We are hopeful and so glad that leukemia has been held at bay.

Our porch is now an official closed in Carolina room which we are really enjoying.
