Renee and I met with Dr. O to go over the Mayo clinic results, and plan for treatment. It was determined that the spleen would not be removed, as this is not a spleenic cancer. Instead, we would treat this with a combination of a chemo called fludora, and a drug called rituxan. Both of these would be administered intraveneously.

There was an urgency to begin treatment since the hyperviscosity was present, and there could be permanent damage to Renee's eyes, or other areas. Since it was a short week with Easter coming up, we would have to wait for the next week.
