a little update..

So, things have been moving quite slowly for my dad. We have been waiting for what seems forever for the results of his citogenetics test. We have a meeting with his hematologist this Wed, where he will further explain to us where my dad stands in terms of his illness. He is scheduled to start his second round of chemo that Wed as well (vidaza). We also have an apt with a bone marrow specialist on thursday. I'm not really sure what to except on Thursday, but I guess we will just have to wait and see..

My dad has been doing well overall. Within the past month, he has gotten 2 units of blood, which I suppose isnt too bad because it is expected that his counts will go down with the chemo. Just hoping that he can stay strong and healthy throughout the subsequent sessions of chemo. I will post on Wed when we get some results back.

Thank you all for all that you do. I have been reading more and more on this site and some of the people here are truly inspirational. God bless you all.
