Great to be home!
Had platelet transfusion on Saturday and went to church that evening at Clear Lake Presbyterian Church. Had appointment with primary leukemia doctor today who indicated my white blood cell count is slowly increasing and that I will likely need another bone marrow biopsy next Monday to determine cancer status. Bone marrow biopsy last Thursday was inconclusive due to insufficient white blood cells.
Doctor is pleased with my progress and indicated I will likely need 2 more cycles of chemotherapy (as an outpatient) depending on how long it takes to find a complete match stem cell donor!
Learning to be patient, remembering I am in a Marathon for complete recovery!
Very grateful for my family, faith, friends, colleagues and especially the doctors and staff at MD Anderson.
Lorraine has been my inspiration to stay positive and not take myself too seriously. As she has always said, for better or worse, as we approach our 45th wedding anniversary on 12/29/18! I am a very lucky guy to have found the love of my life as early as I did.
That’s it for now. Will keep everyone updated in future postings.
Love and Peace,
John L.
