Logan had a doctors appointment today for a CBC and we were told that if the results come back good (blood counts up) then he will be starting chemo again tomorrow. We will get a call tomorrow morning with the results. This round will only be 4 days long. High dose of Ara C twice a day (and since Eric is out of town, I'll be the one up at midnight doing that) and a new drug, Mitoxantrone (similar to Doxorubicin, the nasty red stuff).
We also got the results of the tissue typing and Amanda is not a tissue match for Logan so we'll continue with the maintenance therapy for 2 or 3 more rounds (depending on how his blood counts do) and be finished unless he relapses. After his maintenance therapy is finished he will get another bone marrow biopsy about 4 weeks later. Then it's one CBC a month for a year. With a little luck, Logan will be finished with chemo therapy by Christmas. What a wonderful present for all of us that would be!

It is definitely on our wish list.
ReplyDeleteThe power of zapping positive energy should never be under estimated. I will notify all of the prayer chains that they did good. That would be the Episcopals, Methodist, Baptist, Mennonites, Catholics, and Christian denominations. I covered all the bases. Love to all. Mom
ReplyDeleteFran-We've been prayin' fools too, I'm glad you've got all your forces involved, too!
