Bone Marrow Biospy

Recent updates on Jonathan Minner's progress as he continue to battle Burkitt's Lymphoma: 

3.26.13: "Right now, as I am typing this, Jon is getting his halfway bone marrow biopsy to see how well his treatment is progressing. New test results show that his platelets are up to 38 and his white blood cell count is up to 1.3 ... Jon did great with bone marrow bx. My friend gave him sedation and he never knew he had it done. Oh by the way, his LDH on the 24th was 640!" 

3.28.13: "Preliminary Bone Marrow results: No live lymphoma! Great news."

4.5.13:  "Jon Update. He just got discharged from the hospital after completing round five-week of chemo! Yeah! He will have to go back on Monday for an intrathecal (spinal) chemo, for the day , then again on Thursday for an all day chemo then hopefully he will have 1 1/2 week rest. His counts are reasonable at this time and he is feeling good, not great but he's still very fatigued has low level nausea most of the time. The good news is that it's manageable for him."
