REMISSION!!!

Yep its official! She is in remission! What that means is her latest biopsy came back with no detectable leukemia cells. They do not consider her cured though; she will need to continue with chemo treatments probably through the summer. This will be a continuation of one of the types of chemo she has already received, just in different doses.
The other good news is that she will be able to complete at least the next few treatments in Albany/Corvallis and will not be required to stay in the hospital. She will be calling Dr. Lee tomorrow to set up an appointment to go over the treatment schedule and get a little more info about how it all will work. It will most likely be a week of treatment, a week of "down", and two weeks of recovery, then start over with each treatment becoming a little easier on her.
