Finally started my last phase of "Intensive" chemotherapy. I started my morning early with a blood draw to check my counts. I waited for what seemed like forever to get the results. I just barely made counts. My ANC (immune system) recovered enough to begin the next round! Great news that I'm getting closer to the end of the hard chemo. The bad news is I have to start my next round. I then have to be sedated for a lumbar puncture in the morning then a doctor visit in the afternoon. Dr. Baskin said I'm looking great! We talked a lot about the next phase and what studies are available for my treatment. My next phase after this is two years long. But for now I'm off to clinic to see some of my favorite nurses and get my chemotherapy. Today it is vincristine and methotrexate. I will get this same chemotherapy every ten days with increased doses ever week. I have done this round before but never at this amount. Last time it was lots of throwing up and mouth sores.
Send me prayers and well wishes and I will keep you posted on my progress!
XOXO
