20/11/09 Day 8. The big chat with the Doctors and Chemo begins

The diagnosis on what type of Leukaemia is still inconclusive and ongoing with samples being sent to other hospitals for testing. To those that have been researching, we are told that Owen has both AML and ALL. It is predominantly AML. Uncommon but not unheard of. It will be treated as AML and as more information comes in, then the treatment will be tailored to suit. We are told to put the next 4-5 weeks on hold as the hospital will be Owens home. He will get a round of Chemotherapy lasting 10 days. Then he will rest for 18 days before the next round. During these rest periods, his immunity will be depleted and this is when he will be vulnerable to infection. We will end up at the Childrens if his health deteriorates and we are warned that this is most likely.
