      <title>Radiation for my son's AML relapse?</title>
      <description>My 2.5 year old son&amp;#39;s AML relapsed (CNS and marrow) eight months ago.&amp;nbsp; He was born with AML (congenital) and had a BMT back in 2006.&amp;nbsp; After several months and two rounds of chemo he was still not in remission.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This was six months ago that we&amp;nbsp;went home - his marrow&amp;nbsp;was aplastic - he was neutropenic - and he was recovering from&amp;nbsp;a cranial tap to drain subdural hygromas.&amp;nbsp;Although we went home to only&amp;nbsp;have a few weeks of &amp;quot;quality of life&amp;quot;, now it is six months later and his marrow has finally recovered - and there is no cancer in his CNS fluid either!We did quite extensive herbal therapy in the past six months - now that he is in remission - we are leaning against CNS radiation (the normal path).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Medical details are on our blog: www.jaymun.com/journal/2009_02_02Any thoughts on this situation?</description>
