Dr. Fixler called a few days later with the results of the bone marrow aspiration. He told us that they discovered that there were no Leukemia cells present in his system. Woohoo!! This means that less than 0.05% of the cells in his system were Leukemia cells. Jaxsen came a long way in one short month because when he first arrived at Sinai, more than 90% of his cells were Leukemia cells. Although he made such great progress, Jaxsen will still be in maintenance therapy for the next three years to ensure he doesn't relapse. His path to full recovery is still long and will unfortunately be filled with weekly trips to the hospital for chemo and procedures to treat and monitor his condition. Nevertheless, Jaxsen has been responding well to his treatment and we couldn't be happier!
