Final round starts tomorrow!!!

Andrew's neutrophil count rose to 800 today! This means that we get to start the final round of chemo tomorrow! We are soooooo excited to get in and get it done with. Hopefully we will be home for good before the end of May. Andrew should be able to spend his first birthday at home June 10th. :D

  2. WOW! I still remember when we first met up at Primary's just after Andrew's diagnosis. So glad that you are close to the finish line! We check your blog all the time to see how you're all doing. We are glad that he only has one round left. We will try and stop by on May 10th. Rach has clinic and then she'll head to RTU to get her central line out!

    Give that cute boy a hug for us!

  3. YAY! This round goes fast. It is so nice to only go the first 3 days and then get some at home time before you go back again to finish the round. You guys have sailed through AML just amazingly! Good work little Andrew!
