Weekend Update

Brenan's oncologist ordered a second flow cytometry test to check again for leukemic cells. There are two scenarios that could follow based on the results. If the second test confirms that there are in fact leukemia cells growing again, then Brenan will be transferred first thing Monday morning to a health care center in Scottsdale. This is where Dr. Tibes is running his clinical trials. The good news is that Brenan is eligible for the trial drug even though he has an infection.

If the test comes back negative and there is no presence of leukemia, they will maintain the current course of action and do another round of chemotherapy, getting Brenan closer and closer to a second bone marrow transplant.

As always, there are options at every corner. Let's pray for the diagnostic specialists, for Brenan's oncologist, and for Dr. Tibes, to give them all insight into Brenan's situation and that they are able to focus on a resolution.
