Silver Lining?

Jess alerted me late last night, that while we don't have any solid information, the oncologist is stating that the recent test results are inconclusive. The diagnostic people say it's too early to tell whether or not the cells they initially thought are either leukemic or immature white blood cells, because there are just too few cells so far. Because things are a bit unsure at this point, Brenan's oncologist has recommended that Brenan stay the course at Thunderbird Hospital, allowing doctors to continue doing what they have been doing, and he is ordering a new test today.

The type of test they are using is called flow cytometry. You can read about this method by clicking here. I tried to read through it, but it is very complicated! If you understand, then more power to you! What I can interpret is that a test this complicated means that results are complicated, and there is no black and white. We are okay with that because the more room there is for interpretation means the more room there is for new treatments and possibilities.

In the mean time, we are all plugging away - working, hanging out at the hospital, and just praying for Brenan - and keeping smiles on our faces. Thanks for everyone's support!
