Day 20 - part deux

The doctor came by tonight to talk to my Dad. He is meeting with my parents tomorrow morning to discuss a treatment plan from here on in. Basically, the bone marrow results were not what we had hoped for. The blasts were still at 30%. Dad mentioned they may start back on the chemo tomorrow. I have a lot of questions and I'm hoping that after the meeting, they will have some more answers.

This second round of chemo they are talking about would be a combo of 3 or 4 drugs for 5 days. It would bring Dad's system even further down and open him up for even more infection. There are obviously some risks here, but what else do you do?

More tomorrow when we hear more.
