The Results Are In

Many of you know we finally got Dan into the Center for Advanced Medicine last week! I convinced Dan to make the switch from the doctor he was seeing for his T Cell Lymphoma-MF was not sitting well with my gut. So, on we went. WOW! What a difference! Talk about thorough! We had a breast cancer survivor meet us at the door and gave us the tour of the cancer center. As usual, we were the youngest people there....but with that said, the healthiest! We met with a new oncologist who did a thorough exam and explained a lot to us. Dan also had 3 blood tests done (which had never been done in 4 years) to check blood counts, lymphoma in the bloodstream, and sezary cells in the blood. The blood counts looked great, we got those back during the visit. Today we called to check the other results. Praise the lord there is NO lymphoma in the bloodstream! The 2nd test for sezary cells was positive in the blood, but less than 5% which is good news as far as treatment goes. If or when he reaches 5% in the bloodstream he will begin IV chemo, so great news is he will continue on with topical chemo until then.....hopefully never with lots of prayers and amazing doctors. We will now begin seeing a dermatologist (next week) and the oncologist both at CAM every 3 months and they will communicate, and watch the blood counts! I feel much better about the level of care he is going to be receiving! Always go with your gut! So, thanks for all the prayers and thoughts....
