Back on track…
Since hearing the news that Morgan did not respond to the “normal” treatment plan, we have been in a holding pattern – holding our breath. Morgan did well with the bone marrow aspiration. She woke up ready to go to Longhorn for some mashed potatoes and steak. Her appetite is almost non-existent, so when she wants to eat, we eat.
We heard from Morgan’s doctor late this afternoon with some great news. The new treatment path they have her on seems to be working, because the tests they ran on her bone marrow came back with less than 1% of cancer blasts – WHICH MEANS in doctor terms they treat her as a patient that is in REMISSION, and we can start to breathe.
Now we need to keep her clean. Therefore, Morgan will be checking into the hospital on Monday for 5 more days of a strong chemo. We will then be out for 3 weeks, and if all goes well, then back in for another 5 days. In the meantime, we will be waiting for news of a bone marrow match.
It will still be a bumpy ride, but now it seems we have directions to get us to our final destination of a full recovery.
