Dear family and friends, we wanted to share some great news--Thomas received the results from his most recent bone-marrow biopsy (BMB) and it is NOT showing any CML.  Alleluia!   This is such wonderful news!  

You might be wondering where this is coming from since our last post on CaringBridge was that he was cancer free.  Unfortunately, in February 2021 his BMB showed that the CML was back.  Thomas had been working closely with the bone-marrow transplant (BMT) team, lead by his amazing doctor, Dr. Langston, Director, Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Program, who immediately put him on the last of the TKI’s available for his type of leukemia.  He was on it longer than originally planned (has some very nasty side-effects), but it looks like it may have done its job and he is cancer free.  Thomas is still on the medication for the Graft-vs-Host-Disease, but the side-effects are much less than the TKI he was on.

Thank you for all the prayers and support through this journey.  We couldn’t have made it through without each and everyone of you praying and supporting us.   May our Lord bless you and your families and allow Thomas to remain cancer free.
