So good news on my bone marrow biopsy. It indicated I am in remission. Certainly good news, but was what I expected. Andy is a little upset that I am not more excited at the results. As far as I am concerned getting back to remission is the easy part.
I don't know yet when I will return to Mayo. My counts have to recover and at the moment I can only describe them as teasing me. 3 days ago I had an ANC of 34, which is nothing to write home about, but it's something. The following day it was 8 and now it is back to 0. My platelets are recovering slowly on their own.
I expect I'll get a hemoglobin transfusion tomorrow. Hemoglobin is the last thing to recover so needing a transfusion, even when my counts are recovering, is normal. I'll be getting out of here sometime on Wednesday so I can celebrate Thanksgiving with the family. The doctor has already taken me off all IV meds in preparation for letting me out.
Since I don't know when I'll be headed back to Mayo, I have no idea what my treatment plan is right now. So, I won't worry about it. We have a big Thanksgiving planned. Andy wanted to cook! My cousin Bre is visiting on Saturday. Plus Dad and I have a little shopping to do. I'll just treat that as a teaser for now... I'll have more to tell on what Grann Sr. and Jr. are up to later.
It's a good day...
