I am now back in the hospital for round two of consolidation chemotherapy. I was admitted on Monday of this week after having three wonderful weeks of freedom during which I was able to work my normal days of 8:15 ish or so to 5:30 ish or so. I even got to go to Casper last week for the annual Wyoming Association of County Officers convention and fulfill my duties as president.
I had a great time seeing all the clerks from around the state, but didn't have enough energy to really enjoy the social times. I expect to be full of energy the next time we meet, though.
I had a bone marrow biopsy last Friday and the preliminary results are great. The beautiful Dr. Batezini told me there were ZERO blasts in my bone marrow. Not 1% or 2%, but ZERO. A difficult concept for me to grasp. We are waiting on the results of the FISH panel to see if the chromosomal damage (trisomy 11) has been corrected. If so, the next phase of treatment will be in Denver and consist of an autologous stem cell transplant. We should know something in the next 9 days.
