Results are in

O.K. I had to report this. My doctor was very pleased with the results of the chemo. My blood work is more normal than it's been in years! The little cancerous white blood cells took a wallop, my lymph nodes are normal and my spleen has markedly decreased in size. After only one cycle......wow! He even took me off allopurinol since my uric acid is fine. Less meds means less toxicity.  One cycle down, five to go. Next one starts 5/15.  On a side note, I read a quote just when I needed it. It said, "That which you manifest is before you." From the book, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. Reminded me of the importance of believing in positive outcomes. I won't delude myself to think that this always is true but it sure gets you through the dark days.
