The plan is to give 5 days of chemo and then give the DLI (his brother's T cells) a few days after. The chemo needs to destroy enough of the disease (preferably 90%) for the DLI to be able to work.
Thank you for your prayers.

Update
We are still unsure of the tonsil issue but one thing is clear, his disease is moving very fast right now. Leukemia blasts jumped from a steady 5% in his peripheral blood to 13% overnight. Not good. We are waiting for a bed in 11Long to open up and hopefully start a stronger regiment of chemo there tonight. This means at least another month in the hospital during treatment and recovery. It also means jumping into chemo while he still has this spreading throat infection and miserably constant high fevers. Tylenol will take the fever down a bit enough for him to come out from hiding under the blanket to eat a little and feel human again.

ReplyDeleteI'm praying for God to do His good work in Ian's body. Lord, for Your glory, please heal him.
ReplyDeletePraying for effective chemo, that Ian will be well enough to receive treatment, and that he will receive his brothers T cells well.
