Well the doctor came in and gave us the good news. Connie has zero leukemic cells, but she also has zero other cells. This is exactly the results the doctors wanted to see today.
So what does this mean. Well in a couple weeks or so they will do another biopsy to see if any leukemic cells have come back. We did not talk about the next course of treatment because it depends on what they find with the next biopsy.
The doctor gave Connie some strict orders, focus on the good news and take each day as it comes. As she put it, "be in the now".
Connie will still be in the hospital for the next couple weeks until her counts come back up. Her jobs is to get up, do laps around the floor, eat well, do her breathing exercises, and stay "healthy", no fevers, etc.
We will keep you posted, but today Connie received the best news that could have been received.
She gave a big WOO HOO!!! when she heard the news.
Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers, somebody must have been listening. :-)
Awesome. that is good news.
