Relapse

I relapsed on 3rd May 2011, 9 months after getting the all clear. It was spotted during one of my monthly follow-ups. The Dr noticed that my liver was slightly enlarged. Blood tests didn't show anything, but when I had a bone marrow asparate the leukaemic cells could be seen under the microscope. To say this surprised everyone was an understatement!!!

This time the protocol I went onto was Regimen R. This contains lots of very strong chemopherapy that will hopefully get rid of my leukaemia. At day 35 I hadn't responded as well as hoped so I was put forward for a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT).
