Nickolas Update

Update from Tiffany Seiber Hatmaker: Spinal tap and clinic went ok today. His counts weren't high enough to up the dose of chemo this time. Since maintenance phase is coming up a new worry has been bothering me and today I asked the dreaded question...what are the chances he will relapse? The answer...very slim! Whew. Glad I asked. Because he had no cancer cells on day 28 of treatment, and he has responded so well to treatment, there's a very slim chance of relapse. The Dr. said he came through this, "beautifully". Chemo again in 10 days then maintenance. This means spinal tap once a month and chemo and steroids at home for 2.5 years. We can handle that! God is good.
