Spring Training

After a long day awaiting the results from the bone marrow test, we finally met with one of the fellow doctors. She was a young pretty Indian doctor that showed genuine compassion without compromising professionalism. You could see in her eyes how hard it was to going to be to inform us of the news she had to share. 

The bone marrow test confirmed that she has the AML subtype 'M5 Monocytic' leukemia. These results were taken at the cellular level, and will help the doctor decide which treatment will work best. It will be a few more days until it is narrowed down even more at the chromosomal level. The term used was "cited genetics". After these results are in, they will be able to give a more definitive prognosis. After receiving this news, Nonnie had begun her training by walking 4 laps around her floor. This will help her stay strong and active to help fight potential future respiratory infections by inactivity. Go Nonnie!
