Progress Update

I know it's been a while since I last updated everyone on my progress. I was waiting for the results of my testing from last week. I have fantastic news. The treatments are definitely working and the size of my tumors have been reduced by about 50% and my bone marrow is now cancer free. The doctor was very happy and said I am doing better than average at this stage in my treatment plan.

I'll resume my chemotherapy next Wednesday. My platelets are still low, but no longer a big worry since it seems to be the way the disease affects me. I've gotten a little cold, so we're waiting a week to get better from that and give the platelets some extra time to rebound.

All in all, a great day.
