Cycle 7: More fusion...

Fortunately Fridays visit yielded test results that indicate she is no longer neutropenic (just barely), unfortunately she's got no RBCs so we'll be back tomorrow (Wednesday) morning for another transfusion. Without Trish around its been hard figuring out who to negotiate with re: timings and beds at the hospital, but we've done pretty good so far. Looks like we may even be able to sneak in her last chemo dose (of this round) tomorrow too (a day early) which would mean (totally knock on wood) that we would not have to go back until next Monday. She's prone to go neutropenic again so she won't be making it to the cabin (for the first July 4th ever!). . . but we will stir up some fun in the ole 'bane.

She is doing pretty well, despite some belly aches, nausea, and the ever present diarrhea . . . We are still giving her the nightly s-h-o-t, and that is no fun but for now she is looking good and ready to be all tanked up for the long weekend.
