On Monday, Brenan will begin consolidation chemotherapy.
Consolidation chemotherapy - Chemotherapy given once a remission is achieved. The goal of this therapy is to sustain a remission. Consolidation chemotherapy may also be called intensification therapy. This term is commonly used in the treatment of acute leukemias.
Although, we have not been formally told that Brenan is in remission, his blood tests are coming back with good and stable results. However, this does not excuse him from having a bone marrow transplant.

Julianne, I'm here, Sweetheart. And keeping you all in my heart every day.
I check the blog at least once a day for updates (they are so appreciated!), and you all have my love and support. Brenan, I'm so proud of you. You seem to be going through all of this with such courage, strength, and a positive attitude... and that is so, so important. Hang in there, Honey. We're all keeping you in our thoughts and best wishes. You are doing so well, and I know you will beat this and come through with flying colors!

Hey Brenan,
I spoke with the new & old owners of Rollerplex and they have posted a link to this site on the new website www.rollerplexsports.com and old site www.rollerplex.com . Hopefully it will generate some help from more people. Hope you're hanging in there.
