Jana had an appointment with her doctor today, and her white blood cell count was in the normal range--7,000. That's down from 186,000 in four weeks. She is not cured. She will never be cured, but taking Gleevec daily should keep her leukemia at bay for a long time. Let's hope that with further basic research into the causes of cancer, all cancers can be treated as effectively as CML.
To celebrate, we went out to dinner at Chili's using the gift card given to us by the women in the office of our old apartment complex. Thanks Andrea, Sarah, and Paige!
