Second Round Needed

Brenan had his appointment with the oncologist at Good Sam today. Unfortunately, during this evaluation she determined that a bone marrow transplant cannot occur until all the Lymphoma that has presented itself in his skin and face has dissipated. The chemotherapy treatment he just completed almost rid him of the Lymphoma so he will be admitted back into Arrowhead to get a second treatment. Next Wednesday he will see his regular oncologist again and most likely be admitted into Arrowhead on Thursday. He should begin the Nelarabine chemotherapy by Friday and will receive a dose every other day for five days.

The oncologist at Good Sam tentatively slotted the bone marrow transplant to occur in the 3rd week of October, pending the results of this upcoming treatment.
