Colleen had her clinic visit on friday. She got chemotherapy in the port and had a spinal tap with chemotherapy. She was doing well this morning but I had to give her 3 injections of chemotherapy around 130 and she got really tired after having them. We also ventured out today to shop at Target since her white count was a bit improved so maybe she was exhausted from the outing. Anyway she slept until 530 and woke up nauseated and vomiting. We are grateful that her feet do not hurt and her headache is gone at the moment. Her appetite is really nonexistent at this point. Please pray that she will be able to eat more.
Many have asked us how often and how long her treatments will be. At this point, they tell us that she will have weekly chemotherapy treatments for the first 6 months and then every other week for 2 months and then once a month on a maintenance chemotherapy for the remainder of the 2 and a half to 3 year period. Please continue to pray that Colleen will remain healthy, free from infection, and that she will have the strength to endure the chemotherapy especially for the next 6 and a half months for the intense chemotherapy. Thank you
