This fall and winter has just flown by in a wink! I'm so thankful for that. It's the back and forth for clinic and daddy's new job that is keeping us on our toes. Here is an over view with a few pictures from the last few months of clinic! Her numbers and ANC have been right where the doctors would like to see them until December. It was a surprise to hear her ANC was 100. We almost forgot how to wear masks! (I wish) Presley was put on a chemo hold to help her numbers to rebound or go back up. I'm always talking "her numbers". Her numbers being her blood work. The 4 that numbers that we look at the most, red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells and her ANC. Since last January (right after she started maintenance) when her numbers did a huge dive and they thought that maybe she had relapsed, Doctor Fluchel has slowly been increasing her oral chemo to get to that magical place of immune suppressed..not too high or two low. It really is magic! They want her ANC to be 500-1500. Presley's is usually 2000-3000.
September- Clinic in St. George
October- Clinic in St. George
November- We went to clinic is SLC
Clinic was so long this time. We did the usually chemo check and getting put out for her LP and getting chemo. We added an appointment to the urologist. Presley has been getting quite a few UTIs. so with Doc Fluchels help we are trying to figure out whats going on. The next time we go to clinic and have an LP they are going to do a scope and see if they can find anything going on that would explain the UTI's.
December - Clinic in St George
We are counting down the days until she is done. We have 5 more clinic visits! Jan, Feb, March, April, May! May we will go to clinic in the first part of the month and then toward the end of the month remove her port and stop chemotherapy treatment.
Its a happy but scary place. Happy that she will be done with this long road of chemo but so scary that we then worry about that R word.
