this is a rare note from sue. so hello,
good news, - just in case jez hasn't done this or you haven't heard. we had the big bone marrow test on friday to see if the leukaemia was becoming under control. the blood cells started off as 100% leukaemic(when we entered hospital), the aim was for them to be 25% by this friday. I'm very happy to say they were 5%, which is FANTASTIC!
To us this means he is now continuing to follow the least harsh form of chemotherapy. so a few less drugs being pumped into his body. practically it means that his outpatients appointments will mainly be at the n and n, not cambrige. so a 5 min drive as opposed to an hour and a half.
on when he leaves hospital - his blood results have to get a bit better. for those of you in the know the neutrophils in his blood (stuff that fights infection) have to reach one. they are currently 0.1. I am hoping/praying he manages to do this in a weeks time. (maybe slightly optomistic, but until 2 weeks ago - the glass was always half full for me.)
so once he can do this they will let him leave hospital. if we are lucky he will be home for sam's 3rd birthday. and we will all be celebrating.
fingers crossed.
love sue
ps thanks for all your cards, presents and good wishes - they have meant the world to me, even though I haven't replied to most of them.
