What a week! Exhilarating might be the best descriptor. On Monday we got a call from Terry's Cardiologist. He sees no reason for her to continue seeing him and her heart follow up will now be taken care of by her Primary Care Physician.
On Monday evening we got a call from her Primary Hematologist/Oncologist with the initial results of her bone marrow biopsy. He started the call with, "Great news!".
On Tuesday Terry saw her Transplant Oncologist. He reiterated the good news about the bone marrow biopsy and is very pleased with how Terry progressed. There are a few test results he will get back next week before he makes his final interpretation and prognosis, however he feels she is at least 90% in remission. Terry doesn't have to see him again until December as he is turning Terry over to her Primary Oncologist.
WOW---What week!!!!
