Good news!

Hi everyone!

Great news today! I received the results of my latest PCR ABL test. My first one showed 126% on 12.12.09. I was retested on 02.05.10 and my result is 31.71%! I've been told this big of a jump is normal. The long stretch is coming now. The log reductions from 30% to 0% should take about a year. Once I hit 0% I will be in molecular remission.

When I hit 0% the cancer is out of my body. Unfortunately I will have to be on chemo the rest of my life or until they find another cure because my marrow will continue to produce cancerous cells. I'm ok with that!

This means all of the crappy side effects are actually worth it!

Love you all!
Ryan
