Today was a long, emotional day for me. The short version is that her blood draw last night showed some abnormalities and there was some question as to whether the cancer cells were back. After several more tests and several hours of waiting (and I cannot even begin to describe how hard those hours were), the dr concluded that she is probably ok and her bone marrow is just doing some funny things as a result of the chemo combined with a probable virus.
It came as a huge relief, but I still have some concerns because her ANC is still only 100 after 5 days of round the clock antibiotics. We will be doing blood draws twice a week until her ANC is above 500.
I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how hard those hours would’ve been. I hope she’s over this virus soon.
Praying!
Oh no! Hoping that she rebounds quickly. Mollie is fighting off something too (they think it is sinusitis) and her counts have dropped from 2160 to 11oo in just 5 days. Any change in counts and I automatically think relapse. Your mind can’t help but go there.
Hang in there!
Sending prayers for Serenity and your family.
oh, that must have been gosh awful, waiting and not knowing…. I am so sorry and quite relieved!
