Assessment

The past two days were spent in a normal hospital room while the doctors and nurses assessed my situation and decided on what treatment. I was placed in a study that has been going on since mid-2007 using a combination of the drugs Clofarabine and Cytarabine. Bags of the Clofarabine and shots of the Cytarabine. The hope is remission after the first round – then the treatment (protocol) continues for another 6 months. I was allowed visitors – so I was glad that Mike was still there and Sue and John and two of their girls Tracy and Lindsay were able to spend some time with me.
