Colin is officially in remission!
His bone marrow biopsy done the day after Thanksgiving came back clean, with no detected cancer cells!
He has undergone one round of intense chemotherapy, and even though he is technically in remission, it is still required that he do two more rounds and then the bone marrow transplant, which will be an intense ordeal in itself.
He still has a long road to go, but we are all so excited that he is responding so well and finally feeling a little bit better. His blood counts are up to around where they should be and he can roam about the hospital occasionally without all his IV bags in tow.
Check out his website to see the full journal update:

There you will also find in the photos section a peek at Colin's new bald look and a very cute hospital visit from Klondike, the family dog.
Thank you to everyone for all your support and concerns. The whole family appreciates the love. Hopefully everything stays on this positive track and the rest of his battle will not be too awful.
We will definitely keep you all posted here with big news, but feel free to check CaringBridge every few days for more day-to-day progress.
