In the spirit of World Cup fever, Callen reached target goal of Minimal Residual Disease less than 0.01% in his most recent bone marrow biopsy done Monday afternoon!!! This beautiful news, hand-delivered in hard copy by his attending physician late last night, is a sweet first victory for our little champion. There is currently NO discernible evidence of cancer in his bone marrow! But because he is a slow responder, he will be required to complete this intense three year high risk protocol in order to optimize the likelihood of maintaining longterm remission and eventual cure. We push forward, at the same time savoring his hard-earned victory.

SCORE: Callen 1, Leukemia 0.

Who's the "Big C" now?!?!?!!
