Hi all. Wanted to give a quick update. Jo had her post-chemo doctor's appointment today. Platlet counts are low, but always are after chemo. She'll go back to check again Thursday, but we're probably looking at a platlet transfusion later this week (again, normal MO for her the week after chemo). Mom has been super sick (got a ferociously bad cold while she was at the hospital with Jo last week) so it's been pretty quiet at the house. Lots of sleeping (though I hear homemade vegetable soup and bread was part of the menu this weekend)... She's back on the Fentenol (msp???) but on the lowest possible dose. Getting back to pain med levels of pain is a bit worrisome (remember all the crazies we had with too much pain med??) but necessary where she's at right now. We'll do tests next week to see our progress (shooting for the 10th) and she has an appointment the morning of the 14th to discuss those results and the next plan of action. It's been thrown around doing another round of the 1st type of chemo (not our favorite plan), another type of chemo or revisiting Barnes to see about what options they might have. But again, not much to go on without the test results.
Anyway, that's the scoop as of now... peace...
