Jackson is in remission and has been placed in the “Low Risk” category! Meaning he has a low risk of the chemo not working for him. This is such wonderful news and huge relief. I can’t thank you all so much for your continuous thoughts and prayers for him.
Jackson still has a long hard road ahead of him. It’s not going to be easy watching him have to continue the treatment. But at least we know that the treatment we are giving to him is working!
With these results we know that we get to continue on the same treatment plan with the chemo. So he will have 3 more rounds of Chemo. Each round of chemo will differ on how many days he gets the chemo and what different types of chemo he will receive. But the chemo gets more intense each treatment. So we know it is going to be hard on his little body and there will be nasty side effects from the chemo.
Each round of chemo will result in another 25-35 day stay at the hospital for close monitoring of him. Since the chemo is so intense and his numbers drop to zero for so long the safest place for him is the hospital.
The doctor said that with his results coming back with no sign of the cancer she was comfortable allowing his numbers to come up on their own. Allowing his body to heal on its own time. We will report back for round two once his ANC reaches 1,000. He has his labs tomorrow to see what his numbers are. If they are at 1,000 we get admitted on Friday.
If they are not then we will be home until they are.
Again and as always thank you so much! We read all of your comments and prayers and appreciate each and everyone of them!
Also, Uncle Jeff stopped by to see him today! He had so much fun playing with him. Thanks Uncle Jeff.
