Good news!

May 14, 2009 by Dr. V

Emmett is in remission!

He’s in his third week of chemotherapy. He will continue the weekly regimen until about 8-12 weeks, when it starts to decrease in frequency. After 16 weeks it is done once a month, hopefully for a long, long time.

We also typed his lymphoma. There are 2 types, B cell and T cell. I remember learning in school that B=Bad and T=Terrible, as in, neither one is good, but T is the worse kind to have. The median survival times are markedly less for T cell lymphoma.

And Emmett has B cell. It sounds strange to say, “I’m so glad Emmett has B cell lymphoma,” but you know what I mean.
