Finally a result from the BM Biopsy but not the one we wanted. The blood counts have all fallen some more than others and the Biopsy shows that the Leukaemia is back. We had been told from the start that this was on the cards but 18 months after going into remission you begin to think it won't happen.
The plan is transfusions of various sorts to treat the low blood counts and outpatient chemotherapy for seven days each month for four months, the aim being to get back into remission then a repeat BM Biopsy & Aspirate in about March time. Don't know what the success rate of this treatment is.
Karine & I only learnt this news an hour or two ago so we've neither of us taken it on board properly yet. It did seem the obvious cause for the falling counts but it is one thing to suspect a relapse and another to have it confirmed.
Enough for now,
I think this is Latin for "When I fall I shall rise"

'Fluctuat, nec mergitur', perhaps?
Very appropriate
