First the ANC....today it is 1515.....remember I talked about the reason for it dropping....this is still exceptional!!
Second.....we are getting out of here and headed back to the apartment on Wednesday afternoon!!!! I have picked up the meds (there are 11 oral, 1 cream, 2 IV, and the TPN), we are getting all of the home care supplies in order, etc. Nana is on her way this evening to assist with the transition. Sean so very wished he could be here but he is missing work all next week so he just had to get some hours in this week. As usual...Dillon's support system is in place, strong and ready to go.
Now for the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for today.......
We got the bone marrow biopsy results.......drum roll please.........
Dillon's bone marrow shows 100% donor cells!!!!!!!! Strong and healthy with NO lymphoma present.
His original cells have effectively been OBLITERATED!!!! Sometimes this is not the case and the patient and family are left waiting anxiously over the next several months to see if the donor cells will win out over the old ones that are trying to come back.....Soooooo we don't have that nail biting worry!
THIS IS A GOOD NEWS DAY!!! I am flying high. I held my breath when the doc came in with the lab report from the bone marrow and when she said 100% donor, the floor fell out from under me...I was lightheaded and giddy.....just unbelievable relief and happiness swept over my entire being.
HALLELUJAH ....WE ARE ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!!!!!!
Holy Moly that's fantastic news. ALL of it. 100% donor...I don't think I expected that after what you wrote the other day. FANTASTIC!!!!!! Way to go Dillon. HUGs, love, kisses and prayers...aunt Marilyn
