My Doctor phoned with me with the results of my MRD, it came back negative so there's no need for me to have any of the neurotoxic chemo (like the vincristine), so that should mean I get a couple of weeks off chemo. I've got an asparaginase injection on tuesday but thats it really, no more cytarabine, just ambisone.
So I'm in to molecular remission, I've got an appointment booked for a test dose of radiation on the 23rd, I meet my transplant coordinator and have a load of tests (dental checks, echocardiagrams) on the 26th.
Things are moving along pretty quickly, I'm just glad to have a couple of weeks off at the moment, I'm not thinking about about the next stage too much, but I am looking forward to getting it all started. I had a deadline for unversity the other day, luckily my course leader phoned me up to remind me which was good of him, hopefully I'll be able to make the exam date in August otherwise I'll have to do it all again next year.

Hi Will, well that was some good news - a 'nice' cal to receive! I hope you do get the two week break, and manage to enjoy it woithout going too 'wild!'. Sounds like the 23rd is a busy day, one to take some reading material or some company with you.
Hope you can keep up with the studies, and I hope you would not need to repeat a whole year for an exam. In the grand scheme you have to get the priorities sorted first, but I would have hoped some concession could be made?
Good to hear some positives,enjoy the time out from chemo and perhaps this lovely weather will hang about for a few days.
