Tony's had a few low fevers, a bit of a cough and the sniffles. His doctors did a few tests and found out he has the rhino virus again. It's basically the common cold. They aren't super worried about it, as his white count is high enough to fight it off and he's already feeling quite a bit better today.
We found out today that once his white count reaches 2 (2,000) and his platelets are at 100 (100,000) then they will start giving him an oral medication that will target the FLT3 mutation that he has. He'll take that medication for the next 3-5 years. It was good to hear that they had a plan to fight against that particular mutation, as it can make relapse more likely.
