Hi everyone, yes, I changed the title once again. Instead of doing chemo + and all of that, we figured it would just be easier to go by dates. The main reason is because Evey and I just got the results from the bone marrow biopsy done on Monday, and the news in not what we were hoping for. They unfortunately were able to find traces of cancer cells in the results so back to square one we go. We've been here before so the shock is not as bad as you would think, but of course it's a let down. It took three rounds after my first diagnosis to kick me into remission, so again, we've been here before and we know how to handle it. We'll buckle down as we always do and get through this together.

As far as next steps are concerned, my oncologist will be working on that tonight. Due to the numerous complications from my last go 'round, they have to be careful of the chemo cocktail they give me. My heart is the biggest consideration due to my Atrial Flutter, but I'm confident he'll take the night to due what doctors due in this situation and come up with the best possible mixture of hell to put me through, and ultimitely get me back to remission. I have a feeling he was a bit too gun shy on this last one,which is why I came through it so easily and in the end had a bad result. If I have anything to say about it that will not happen again. If it were my choice I would have him put me through the biggest and baddest mixture yet, but I'm not the doctor and and I'm sure there are hundred other things that need to be considered in this. Regardless, what we just went though in round one didn't work, so on we move to round two. And in round two, we are gong to unleash a billion little Manny Pacquiao cells that are going to run through my body and destroy any Leukemia cells in their path.

As the information comes to us, updates will be coming out to you all. We again can't thank you enough for the love and support you keep throwing our way and I promise you we will keep our heads up, stay strong and be ready for what's coming next. So I've got Leukemia. There are people out there with much larger problems than that and have a fraction of the support system Evey and I have. Given all circumstances, we are very lucky to have you all in our corner, and we will get through this.
