  If you wonder what your looking at this is the chromosome test they do to determine if Jose's cells have the    chromosomal anomly. We'll it's all gone! 

Jose went in for the results of his bone marrow biopsy. He is in complete morphological remission! We still have a year of oral chemotheraphy but at least we are on the downward spiral of the treatment. Today we went up his numbers are all up and we got a schedule for his meds. He will take the atra every other week 50mg a day. He will take the 6mp every day and a large dose of methotrexate once a week. They are still watching and going to do labs once a week to keep an eye on his liver functions. But, they went ahead and decided to pull his port today! It looks like a bullet hole. I'm so glad it's gone. Jose was so paranoid about it and worried about infection. 
5 months with his port! Before. 
After. A bullet hole looking wound.
