T+67: Not Leukemia (so far)

The primary result of yesterday's biopsy is that leukemia has not returned to Kay's bone marrow.
But apart from this good news, the situation is not simple, the medics are still not sure what the problem actually is. There remain a number of possibilities. I'm too tired and too emotionally drained to write up the full explaination right now, but the mostly likely explaination for the drop in bone marrow activity remains the CMV virus and the anti-viral that has so far been used to combat it.
There are three possible treatments for the CMV virus. It seems that the first one has only been partially effective, whilst possibly having supressed bone marrow activity. The second is currently running but it will be a while yet before we know if the new medication is any more effective. If it's not then we're possibly into a third, experimental treatment. Again, I'm too tired to go into the (very interesting) details, but that's just say that we have to hope that the current treatment is effective.

The current anti-viral also has a suppressant effect on bone marrow activity so what we're looking for this time is the medication to (significantly) reduce the CMV virus load on Kay's system to the extent that it can then be decreased. At that point either Kay's bone marrow should start to recover on it's own or, maybe, a further transplant from her donor will be requested/required. The most important thing is that the CMV load is reduced as soon as possible.

There's much more to tell, but as I have mentioned, I feel mentally and emotionally exhausted. I have some work to do this evening, but I have the idea that maybe I'll risk going to bed early and see if I can get out of bed early tomorrow. I have the idea that my efforts will not amount to much this evening.
