We just got the news - not more than a few hours later - Hunter's bone marrow has been tested and it's clean. He has less than 5% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow and that means he is 100% in remission. We are so thankful that he is responding to the "therapy". It was chemo, now that it's working, it's therapy. Yessss sir.
He'll start round two of - therapy - as soon as his blood fully recovers. Maybe as soon as late next week.
In the meantime we don't get the luxury of returning home while he is recovering. They are treating him as if he has the bone infection. Even though I don't think the bone lesions were infection the doctors think it's prudent to leave him on antibiotics. I'm not exactly sure but it's intense - something like 4 more weeks. That should carry us well into his recovery from the second dose of therapy.
Three cheers for modern therapy!
