The bone marrow biopsy was originally scheduled for September 17th. Jerek’s white count and neutrophils were not as high as the doctor wanted them to be so she rescheduled it for the following Monday. On the 24th, the white count had come up a little but the neutrophils had dropped. In order to get a good sample, the doctor once again wanted to wait another week for his counts to recover. They believe this last round of chemo just took a toll on his marrow and it is taking a while for it to recover. When we went in today, the white count once again came up a little but the neutrophils dropped even further. At this point, they wanted to go ahead and do the biopsy. All of Jerek’s other counts and levels are normal and it seemed like they got a good sample today. There is very little concern that the cancer is back, but we will not have any results until later in the week. Please pray that Jerek is still in remission and that his neutrophil count will come up soon so he can continue on to the next round of chemo.
 
We're all on it Caitlin. Give Jerek a hug for us please.
 
I really hope he's still in remission and all will be ok
 
Been praying for yall every day, and hoping for an update.
Keep the faith.
 
Caitlin, Jerek, I pray every day for you and yours.
 
I was wondering about Jerek the other day. Remission sure sounds great. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
 
Thanks for the update, I also had been 'wondering' on status.
Of course continued prayers....

Question... is Jerek on a marrow donor list or has there been a drive for marrow match? (a good CFF project!!)
 
We're keeping Jerek and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the update.
 
Such good people. May my potential positives of life be given to you and yours. Always in my thoughts

At this time, we are expecting chemo to be all that he needs. But they did look into a bone marrow match as a back up plan just in case he did need a transplant. He does have 30+ potential matches so if it comes down to it and he were to need a transplant, he does have plenty of matches out there.
