Hi Donna

Prayer is what keeps us going I think! We received news today that the induction chemo my Dad has received was unsuccessful. For a few days his blast cells reduced (were 20%) but his latest BMB revealed that there has been an increase. We are devastated. His only chance is a Bone Marrow Transplant. We have started to look for a donor.

Its really sad.

I'm glad that they managed to diagnose what your Dad's condition is. I really feel for you because I have beena similar process with my Dad. Be strong and know that there are many people out there sharing your pain.
