Dr Kopic has just visited me on his morning rounds.
The very first thing he said as he entered the room and shook my hand was..
"I have very good news.. Your bone marrow is clear"
This is the absolute best news I could have.. To have no bone marrow involvement is just fantastic! The doctors at Wgtn told me my marrow was involved, but I could never understand how they knew that without testing. I guess they believed that because it had been wiped out so badly by the chemo that it must have been as a result of involvement. The chances of long term remission are now greatly improved.
I talked to Dr K about a few other things.. One of which is the tinnitus that has developed as a result taking the Cisplatin component of the DHAP regimen. I've always had a little bit of tinnitus.. a ringing in my ears as a result of a misspent youth. Too many loud concerts, stereos and angle grinders without ear protection. However this has now increased to the point that it is a constant ring that could drive you nuts if you were to focus on it. I just block it out, being alive to hear it is what counts. It's a small price to pay..
The Doctor says he can give me something to help it and will give me extra protection for the second round of chemo.
OK.. shall go now and enjoy my happiness.. It's a fantastic day! ..Yahooo! I don't have cancer in my bone marrow!!!! :-)
8pm.. Sarah has arrived safe and happy. :)

Hi Ron
Fantastic news, I am so happy I could cry, this is just what we have been waiting to hear. Anyone as postive as you are will surely beat this.
Yay from me too.

Thats so good to hear really happy for you! NZ doctors sound pretty dodgy, blind leading the blind. I'm sure Gogi juice must be good for you, stacks of studies on the benefits of vitamins that exclude the placebo effect.
