Apr 18: Don't be your own Doc

 

Well....

Never be your own doctor or lawyer. I just heard from my oncologist. I misread the results and didn't actually have the more sensitive genetic test results. I still have some leukemia lurking around, 53 cells vs the 845K I had when I was first diagnosed Aug 2023. 


Bottom line, still in a battle, still in a fight. 

CAR-T is my next likely option where they use my own healthy cells to grow them and then target the bad ones. 

The Lord is my refuge and strength; a very present help in time of trouble.
