Well, with everything going on with my brother, the holidays were looking to be anything but relaxing. None of us wanted to go through Christmas waiting to hear the latest results, but at the same time, we weren't sure that we wanted the results before Christmas. Anyways. My brother let us know that they got his FISH results back and it's NOT the two really really bad ones that don't respond to Chemo. It's not the optimum one that has a really high success rate, but it is more of a general classification. So as of right now, he'll be doing Chemo one week out of every four (for 3 days) and a bone marrow transplant is most likely in his near future.

While this still wasn't the greatest news (the optimum mutation would have been that) it is by far the worst news and is the best news we've gotten since this all started. It has definitely made us breathe a little bit easier and after talking with him today, he's much more upbeat than he was after the last test results. He's already done one round of Chemo and for the most part is feeling okay.
