Jim received the results of the bone marrow biopsy from his doctor’s office. We were told that if he had 5% or less leukemic cells, Phase I would be considered a success and he would be able to move on to the Consolidation Phase. The Lord has once again been good to us. Jim was told that there were 0 leukemic cells in his bone marrow. It is the best news we could have received. We breathed a sigh of relief and thanks to God. Jim is now ready more than ever to get on with his treatment. It was explained to us that there still could be hidden leukemia cells which is why Jim will undergo the Consolidation Phase of treatment. This phase is “to seal the deal.” Jim will be admitted to Lutheran Hospital on Monday, November 17 for about a week. The Consolidation Phase of chemotherapy is not as intensive as the Induction Phase was. As we find out more details, I will share them here.
Thank you once again for all your prayers and concern for our family. We cannot express how much we appreciate all the love and support we’ve received. Our thanks go to God for how He continues to provide for us. We are humbled by his grace.
