A couple of weeks ago, Pete began feeling sick, so we took him to the emergency room. After a number of exams that day, nothing turned up. Over the next few days, Pete continued to get worse, so we took him to the emergency room on December 20th. At 2:00 am that morning, we were informed that Pete relapsed and the leukemia was back.
After a number of discussions with the oncologists, the best course of action seemed to be for Pete to go through chemotherapy, radiation, and bone marrow transplant again. In essence, he is going to start over again.
All of this came as a surprise to us and the oncologists, especially with the great exam results Pete had until now. Relapses are never good in cancer patients, and what makes it even worse is that it came a few days before Christmas.
