No Room In The Marrow

Just got a call from the Nurse Practitioner (the same one that does the bone marrow biopsies). She confirmed that not only did she get a good sample of the bone marrow last week (she was even complimented on the sample by the lab technicians), but that the results came back NEGATIVE. There are no signs of cancer in my bone marrow.

A friend of mine asked if this is the first time since October 2008 that there hasn't been any cancer detected in the bone marrow. I thought that was a neat question and one that lets you know how far we all have come in this thing.

Guess that's why she got a good sample. There weren't any stinkin' cancer cells in there to get in the way.

Before we finished the conversation I told her, "Three down. Seven to go and we got this thing licked."
