I was waiting to post when I had some good news. Doesn't look like I will be getting any so I thought I'd update anyway. I had the biopsy last Friday and the initial result was inconclusive - potentially blasts of 6 or possibly much less. So that sounded positive.
Then today it seems the results show blasts of 25! Indicating that the chemo has not worked. They now want to undertake another biopsy on Wednesday to make sure.
My doctors will meet with specialists on Wednesday to discuss what to do next.
The results of the Broncoscopy were not too promising either. It looked like two different infections. They are giving me very strong drugs to deal with this, plus, on the good side my neutrophils have returned to help fight the infection.
The treatment we came here may now be out of the question. I may be able to go ahead with the regular cord blood transplant though this depends on whether the pneumonia is responding to treatment. It could be too risky to go ahead.
All things considered it hasn't been a good day.
