A Break from CLL and Wonderful Small Molecules to Share a Stanley Cup First

My labs were great today in muggy Columbus, Ohio. I am here for my monthly check-up at the end of my second cycle of ibrutinib and to receive another infusion of ofatumumab.  My mild anemia was stable. Otherwise only boring stuff on my CBC and even all the blood chemistries were normal. Nodes are continuing to get smaller and smaller. It's all good. The future looks bright.

Some insurance hassles with OSU, but I don't want to go there. It will pass.

I am writing my take on the role of transplant and the new tyrosine kinase inhibitors oral drugs in trials for an upcoming post, but right now I am taking a break from CLL (because I can- I am doing so well) to share this great photo that I think says it all.
