Yeah Docter but you said I was in remission.

To paraphrase the words of the immortal General Douglas MacArthur when he said, "I'll be back". Well it seems the Leukemia had the same idea. I went in for a blood test last Tuesday and the Doctor saw something suspicious in the printout. She had me give more blood and this test verified that the Leukemia had returned. Next Wednesday I go back for another blood test and a bone marrow biopsy. I think it takes two days to get the bone marrow results and at that time the doctor will most likely put me back in the hospital for a more extensive chemotherapy. She indicated that this would possibly cause me some really big problems like internal bleeding or a severe infection or at the worst "death". So much for the options.

I'll keep in touch,
