This is what remission looks like.
I'm swollen and much rounder, with far less hair, but I still have my smile and the music in my heart beats louder than ever.
Here's what I found out I can endure:
Bone Marrow Biopsy (2x)
1 month stay in the hospital without visitors
Multiple transfusions
Multiple infusions
Port placement surgery
Oral chemo seven days a week
Intravenous chemo five days a week for two hours each, at the clinic
3 visits to the Emergency Department
Arsenic
ATRA
Weekly EKGs
Weekly blood tests
An MRI
A spinal tap
