The biopsy results show this to be ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia). This is the more treated type so that is good news. They will continue with the oral chemo therapy until the results of his chromosome test come back.
At this time, if you have the sniffles or any other illness, it is not recommended that you go into his room as his immune system is in a compromised state.
They are not inserting the port today because of low platlet and giving him blood. Surgery will be on Friday. The chromosome test is to look for some chromosomes that are resistant to certain treatments.
