Second Bone Marrow test March 19

First off, we finally got the results back on the Cytogenetics from Mark's first bone marrow test.  They came back Neutral/normal.  Not exactly what we wanted but still great!!

Mark had his second bone marrow test this morning and Dr. Caton called just a bit ago with "preliminary" results.  

ZERO BLAST CELLS!  MARK IS IN REMISSION!

God is SO good!!!!!

The "final" test results will be back by tomorrow afternoon but Dr. Caton said that the preliminary results are very reliable.  There is one more test he now has to do on the original bone marrow sample BECAUSE it came back with the neutral/normal.  There is still a very slim possibility that his marrow carries an enzyme that will make the cancer reoccur as fast as we got it under control.  We are sure it will come back negative...as sure as we were that we'd blast this out the first round!  GOD IS GOOD!!!

Thank you ALL for your prayers!  THEY ARE WORKING!!!!  Mark is now living proof for us ALL that God is with us, God listens to us, God answers our prayers, and God performs miracles EVERY DAY!

Amen!

We will still be following the plan set out for us a few weeks ago so we still have a long way to go.  But man...we can DO IT!  We are READY! First hurdle jumped clean and clear...the rest are lower.

More to come later with today's trials...but this had to come now and all by itself!
