15) March 23, 2001 Shifra almost back in full remission

23 / 3 2001: Marina called me just this week that Shifra has some really been to school days. She has lots of energy and thoroughly enjoy its new recovery. Where they have much difficulty with them is that the dexamethasone rather bloated (thick), but since last Wednesday they have stopped there and it is expected that within one month of its original weight is. That the sixth! spectacular recovery shown by the following blood values:

March 15: Thrombo's: 90, 3.2 leuco's and HB 6. Bone marrow puncture in low four weeks ago showed 90% leukemic cells.

March 22: Thrombo's 168 leuco's 5.2, HB 7.0. Bone marrow puncture last week showed only 8 to 10% leukemia cells. If it falls below 5%, which is generally expected that this will happen is officially spoken in complete remission

15 / 3 this morning gave me the happy news that Cor Shifra probably back in remission. Yesterday is a blood test showed that her blood levels all are recovering. Moreover, the physically Shifra excellent. She goes back to school, plays flute on the street and feels a lot more energy than before. Next week they get the results of the bone marrow puncture and then know Cor and Marina sure Shifra finally in remission. We will keep you informed when we know more.
