Bone Marrow Results are in

And they are ...

mixed.

Dr. Karp visited Trish just a little while ago. She says that she had too look really hard and that she can't tell if they are dying cells or new cells, but she did see a few blasts in Trish's marrow.

So they can not declare her in remission.

Having said that, Dr. Karp went on to say that this isn't bad news yet. They have a lot of tricks up their sleeves yet to roll-out and by the next marrow biopsy if these were dying cells they may not be there at all.


So this means that when Trish's counts recover they will do another biopsy. It means that this hospitalization will last a little longer than expected. It means we can't quite yet move on the the transplant. And it means nothing more till we cross the next bridge.

I have to run, boys Lacrosse game starts in under anhour and it's at least a 30 minute drive.


In the meantime, Trish feels well and is very bored. Please help fill her day, give her a call. Send her some work. Thanks.
