Adrian did a PET scan last week to see how the cancer had reacted to the chemo. You can't see what is going on in the bone marrow on that one but at least the lymph nodes. They were happy to tell us that the PET was negative. This means that they can't see Lymphoma in his lymph nodes. Which means that he is still chemo sensitive and that is a really good thing. :)
We won't find out about the bone marrow until another bone marrow biopsy has been done and I think that will be in early November.
Still, even if the chemo is working like a charm, this will not change their plan of transplant. I am just hoping that this means that he will for sure be able to do the transplant with his own stem cells.
His hair is now falling out more, so he did a close shave tonight. He said when the short hair catches on the pillows it hurts his head. So now his head is smoother than Olivia's butt!
Tomorrow will be the 'easiest' day of the ICE days, Wednesday/Thursday is when he will start feeling crap again. At least this time we know what to expect.
Catia and Adrian,
ReplyDeleteI think it is so positive that AJ can stay here in Austin for the treatment, and not have to go to Houston. Are there no restrictions as to go out and meet people? Would love to see you all. Maybe you can stop by?
Love
