    Hi,Everyone,
    I have been reading this forum very often. I want to thank you for all of your support during my confusion and scaring. I cut the story short:
    My dad used to suffer for CLL from 2004, In July 4th, his WBC just drop to 600. He acted normally except this low WBC. We sent him to ER, but nothing be done. ER point one of blood disorder Dr to get my dad bone marrow, he found out someting suspect, so he told me my dad might have MDS. – that is the moment I join this and try to get all kinds of infomration and support.

    When his primary Dr. come back from vocation and also review the situation, he told me dad, it is not MDS, it is the reaction when the days beween last chemo and borne marrow test are too closed. His CLL is dispear from his born marrow. I am happy but I still want to have second opinion.

    I sent my dad to Dr. Greenberg in Standford. Thank God, he said the same thing, except, he said if my dad WBC, RBC and plate are stay noraml for next few months, then, it won’t be MDS, it might just termpary reaction from his born marrow. Also his
    CLL is clear from his bone marrow.

    I am so happy. I pray to the Lord everyday, my church friend also pray for us. I cannot believed God is so kind to me. It really exceed what I ask for. I just write this happy letter to share all of you. I know pray is really work.
