The good news this week is her 50/50 chance of getting into remission has eventuated. The Doctor was so excited, she told Lauren on Tuesday - 2 days earlier than when we were supposedly getting the 'official' results. From here there'll be a short consolidation of chemo around April 13 for the week as there were a few 'blast' cells present in the marrow - less than 0.08% (I think) which is good according to the Doc - she expected a higher percentage. Then into a second bone marrow transplant - using a chord blood stem cells this time is the current plan.
Her whiteboard quote for the week was:
Funny to see a get well card from an Aunty of Lauren's in Sydney - 83 years old and never uses the word Fu%k herself, write on Lauren's card #f...cancer!! We have an awesome family!!
