rinnia | I love my livejournal.

Went up to Moffitt this morning for a consultation with the bone marrow transplant people. Sokol didn't think Jaime'd need it, but since Burkitts moves so fast (the doctor we spoke to in the bone marrow clinic said there is no known cancer that grows more quickly than Burkitts Lymphoma. Can we say, "Holy shit"?), he thought it prudent to get to know them just in case and hear their opinion. The basic gist is that there's no clear answer, but they're not recommending BMT right now. It's more likely that he won't relapse than that he will, and though he does have two big risk factors, he's lacking many others. In addition, since Burkitts is really rare, there aren't any studies to support BMT in a patient like Jaime (more on that in a moooooment). According to the doctor we spoke to, the majority of oncologists would say no to BMT in Jaime's case, so that's what we're going with.

Since this is my thousandth livejournal post (and I was really REALLY hoping I'd get to say this for the big 1-0-0-0), let's close things out with a bang, shall we? I mentioned before that there aren't any studies about this stuff in a patient like Jaime. By that, I mean someone who had Burkitts Lymphoma and went into complete remission. That's right.

As of today, 02/25/2009, Jaime is officially in remission!

The smile, it just won't go away! Party, anyone?
