Good news!

We finally have the bone marrow results back. There are actually very few cells that may indicate disease is still present. The chemotherapy treatment can actually cause cells to look like this so it is impossible to say at this point whether the few unusual-looking cells are caused by disease or the treatment itself. So this is great news! Given this new information, we are not sure whether they will do another bone marrow procedure at the start of next round or not. It is unclear whether any different result would be found. The doctors will discuss it at their weekly Friday meeting and decide. So overall very good results - the chemo is definitely working.
