12 Chemo is done!!

Marilyn has asked me to write this entry as she had her 12th Chemo on Tuesday after worrying that it would not happen. Last Friday her cell counts crashed again to their lowest levels yet.They did not admit her into the hospital but immeadeatly gave her antibiotics and we do that everyday for 7 days. That meant trips to the hospital on Saturday and Sunday as they had to be administered by an IV. She had run a temperature on Friday afternoon but it resolved itself quickly. When we went for #12 we were not sure if she would be allowed to have the treatment. Fortunately her cell counts had bounced back enough to let us do this. Now Marilyn will get 4 weeks off from any kind of treatment. She should get another PET scan in mid October and then the decision will be made to either let her have surgery or go on a maintanence level of chemo hoping that the liver will continue to improve so she can then have surgery.I want to thank everyone for their support and prayers. As Marilyn's strength improves she will be back writing her own blog.
