Huge (but still kinda-sorta-tentative) Update

Abigail’s oncologist called me tonight at 10:15. They made more slides of the BM yesterday, and today she was able to see enough cells on one of the slides to confidently say there’s no relapse in her bone marrow!

She warned me, of course, that the final decision lies on her new oncologist’s determination... but she did overnight the slides to him. 

I feel like her doctor is too cautious, too type A, too much of a perfectionist to give us information she wasn’t completely confident with. 

This is huge news. A CNS relapse only is much more favorable than CNS plus bone marrow.  

More later. It’s time we get a decent night’s sleep.
