Hello from the chemo center...
It is 430 and we are still here! We arrived at 1230! It was super busy here and they had all her stuff planned for today. So we have been from room to room. We started with lots of blood being drawn, as they were checking her levels. We got the results from that and everything is good. Her kidneys are a little stressed so she really needs to start drinking more, especially water. At least 2 liters or they will put her on an IV. We also found out that she didn't have to have the lumbar one since her spinal fluid looked good! We had two doctors look in her mouth and they were really impressed by how much it has shrunk. I asked them if it was rare to see, and they said that it is and it is also interesting for them to see cancer shrink like this in person instead of a scan. Great news!! They also came to talk to us about a donor, she doesn't need it now, but they want to test Shane to know if they have a match in case they need one. So of course, they are going to check with the insurance because it is a 10k procedure. Wow! Then they would like a full sibling (Rob just got by lol), to check. So if the insurance okays the check Shane will be up here in a couple of weeks to do so....just seems like a lot is going on. She finally got done with the two chemos so we are ready to leave. I don't want to sit in her any longer than necessary. I need to get going.
Thanks for keeping all the positive thoughts and prayers coming our way!! They are greatly appreciated.
Love and God Bless,
Cindi
