I just got home from visiting her - that's why I'm up so late.
The lab hasn't analyzed it yet, but her cerebro-spinal fluid sample is crystal clear visually, so maybe no cancer in the central nervous system.
Dr. estimates the mutation occurred 2-3 months ago.
Things are looking pretty good.
Her blood is currently almost zero on red cells, white cells, and platelets. She basically has drugs and saltwater in her veins. That's by design - the disease replaced the red cells and platelets with useless immature white cells and the chemo took those out. Scary stuff. No immune system to speak of.
Oh, yeah - her Jehovahs Witless mother-in-law is objecting to transfusions. Fortunately her opinion is not binding. You know, there was a time when religious tolerance was one of my core values...
