Andrew was diagnosed with Erythroid (M6) Acute Myeloid Leukemia on November 4th, 2010 when he was almost 5 months old. Andrew is currently in remission from his cancer, after finishing his 5 rounds of chemotherapy. He is a healthy, happy toddler.

Back to PCMC

Well today is the big day when things start up again. We go at 1:30 to get a bone marrow aspirate in order to determine what condition his bone marrow is in. Andrew still has low neutrophil counts but since it has been two weeks the doctors still want to bring him back in to figure out what is going on. Most likely he will be admitted tomorrow (Friday) for his second round of treatment. For Lizzie this time has been quite nerve racking because the results of this aspirate determine whether or not Andrew needs a bone marrow transplant. We are hoping that he has gone into remission and so he won't need a bone marrow transplant.
