8/30 Results

Well, this is quite a different ride from last time. Eric's labs now show all of his counts to be NORMAL. Can you believe it? Platelets are 240. 240!!! (If you need a recap, they started at 16 in June. Normal is 140-450. )

Ramping up of Venetoclax is still going well with no negative side effects. Full dosing will be completed by next Sunday, 9/8. (The day we leave for our cruise-- which we still can't believe we're getting to do!)

Treatment this Thursday and follow up with Dr. S on Wednesday. We're not expecting any surprises-- just continued good news.

Thanks to all for the prayers and keeping up. This feels miraculous to have such a positive result so quickly with so few side effects other than fatigue.
