We received great news yesterday. Troy is in remission. The chemotherapy has been working. They found no traces of the disease in his bone marrow. All of his levels on everything are almost normal. The doctors have decided to remove enough stem cells for two transplants because of his age. He is young enough and if he were to relaspe they want to have enough for another transplant if needed. Troy will resume chemotherapy when he returns home. Then, he will be monitored, forever. Thank you all for your prayers and support:)When I say monitored forever, this disease doesn't seem to fully go away. That is why it is so important to follow all the treatment plans and continue the chemo. Currently, Troys kidney funtion is 1/2 normal because of the chronic damage.
