I finally got a copy of the BMB yesterday. Bob's blasts are at 51%. He will see the doctor Monday, and begin Chemo either Monday or Tuesday.

I was not there when Dr. Marshall saw him last Monday in the hospital. So I didn't hear it myself, but the Dr. said there was a 30% chance that this Chemo could take his life.

I am worried because Bob is so weak right now. We will go for blood work tomorrow to see if he needs a transfusion. I think he probably does.

I am sorry you are both having to go through this. Just said a little prayer for you.

Dear Linda,
Perhaps Bob´s hematologist will try Revlimid? My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and you, so that he can get his life back up on the road of life.
Kind regards
