Hello cyber support group/world.
I'm sitting here with my mom at the hospital and wanted to supply you all with a mild update on things.
She has 6 days of heavy chemo administration under her belt. Horaay! Today, Tuesday the 18th, is a rest day for her body and tomorrow will be the first day of the stem cell transfusion (not to be confused with a donor transfusion- these stem cells are her own that were harvested some time ago during a more healthy period).
The nausea has been a problem but the nurses are trying to keep it minimal and under control. Her numbers (red blood cell count, white blood cell count, etc) appear to be where it should be and the disease tumors DO seem to be decreasing in size. All signs thus far indicate that things are going in the right direction.
There's a chance for a reoccuring dose of chemo, but hopefully the worst of that is behind her.
We sure love all your prayers and support. I know that sounds a bit cliche-ish, but it couldn't be more true.
Ciao.
