We have waited a year and a half for some good news....we got it. There is "no leukemia in Fred's marrow at all". His blood counts are coming up. He does not have to have blood work done until November and if everything goes all right he does not have to see Dr. Solberg until February.
Fred is always going to be immune suppressed, which means he has to take his usual precautions. We also know that his CLL will come back, but the longer he is in remission, the better.
The pathologist did not feel that he needed to run any further tests at this time on the MDS (myeledysplastic syndrome)due to the normal results he obtained in the marrow tests. So at this time that is not a concern.
We both walked away from Mayo today a little stunned cause we haven't heard such good news for so long we did not know what to say. We do want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughtfulness through this last year and a half...you have no idea how much it has helped.
