We did find out that the bilateral biopsies were clear of leukemia. So no leukemia in his actual bone marrow. It is localized to the CNS at this time.
We had a phone call yesterday telling us of our potential plans. We are to be in Salt Lake on 11/15/10 @ 1:00. Jeremie will have another lumbar puncture with chemotherapy administered intrathecally. Will most likely start another induction chemotherapy on Tuesday. They are changing the mix of chemotherapy. He will do 2 different types. One for 5 days the other for 14 days. We may be able to come home to finish the chemo after the 5 days of treatment. Or at least they are checking into it for us.
They are prepping Jeremie for a bone marrow transplant. Once they do the bone marrow transplant he will be in the hospital for 4-6 weeks, waiting for the "new" immune system to start working. After the hospital stay, we are looking at Jeremie staying in Salt Lake for 100 days after the transplant. Again, hoping somehow he can come home to do maintenance. He has an appointment with our oncologist in St. George tomorrow. We are hoping that he might be able to follow Jeremie once he is discharged from the bone marrow transplant. Cross your fingers that this is a possibility.
