Progress report.

Today I received a blood test answer from a test done 2 days ago. This test was done to check the progress of my treatment. This special blood test is the same test that was done which gave me my original diagnosis back on Dec 16th. At that time, it showed 82.00% of "total viable leukocytes" were abnormal (cancerous). Today's result of the same test for the same cells show only 0.01% abnormal. The Dr. was impressed with this today and called this "remarkable", especially after only completing the first two rounds. Technically, they cannot call this a remission yet because of the 0.01% that showed up, but it sure is close! I am looking forward to cleaning up that last 0.01% with next week's Chemo treatment.
