Good News

September 21, 2009

Today is the day! After 22 days at Children's Hospital of Orange County Alisha was finally released!!

On top of that her Blast count was 2%. What does that mean you ask? The aim is to induce a lasting remission, defined as the absence of detectable cancer cells in the body (usually less than 5% blast cells on the bone marrow). This, however, does not mean the treatments stop. She is still looking at about two and a half years of treatments.
