Tony went in for his second DLI on Monday October 3rd where they put in 10 times the amount of cells. We were feeling really hopeful and he was feeling really good.
Over the next few weeks he had a couple appointments where his blood counts were trending steadily down, and he started to have a similar back pain to what he was having back in February when he was re-diagnosed. We started to worry, but the doctors assured us the counts can drop momentarily as a side effect to the DLI. But then they moved his bone marrow biopsy up by 2 weeks and we really started to worry.
On Monday October 24th we went in for his Bone marrow biopsy. His counts were dropping even more rapidly and they scheduled us to come in Thursday for another blood draw to monitor. We found out at the end of the week that his cancer has relapsed. The biopsy showed 86% of his marrow consisted of blasts.
