Katie's early bone marrow tests are complete and the results are in. She definitely has A.L.L. (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia). The doctors are telling us that this is a "good" thing, and that if she has to have cancer, this is the one to have. ALL is the most common form of childhood leukemia and chances of successful treatment are pretty good.
As of right now, initial treatment will last for 7-10 days depending on how she reacts to the chemotherapy and how well the leukemia cells are responding to the treatment. If all goes well, we could be back home within a couple of weeks, and then just traveling back and forth a couple of times per week. If all does not go well, the initial treatment will be modified and we will be here longer.
She has already had her first chemotherapy treatment and that seemed to go well. so we are hoping for the best.
