Day 14 Bone Marrow Biopsy Results: Good

Bonnie got the results of her bone marrow biopsy results yesterday, and they were positive. The tests showed a 90% reduction in her cancer cells, which means she will continue on the current chemotherapy regime over the next two weeks. The goal is to get Bonnie back into remission at the end of one month of chemotherapy, and she's currently on track. If the results had not been as good, there would likely have been an increase in the chemotherapy dosages, but this isn't required, which is very good.

A few of Bonnie's friends visited her yesterday for a head-shaving ceremony. Bonnie prefers to shave her head, rather than letting it fall out in tufts as the chemo kills her body's fast-growing cells. No, none of Bonnie's friends shaved their heads, too, as a demonstration of empathy. Photos later.
