Update – April 4, 2007 (phase 1, day #29)
today was a good day and a hard day.
i had my appointment today. while i was there and waiting for the tests, the lady told my mommy that my dna tests did not match the criteria for the low-risk group and that this test did not put me in the low-risk group even if i didn’t have any cancer cells left. i could tell mommy was very upset. i heard her tell them that the doctor had told not just her in passing, but had stopped by twice, once to tell my grandma and once to tell my mommy and daddy that i met all 3 of the necessary dna stuff to have a chance to be in the low-risk group.
the good news is that my platelets are good, my bones are creating good red blood cells and my white blood cell counts are up too
i still have to be very careful though. mommy also figured out why i have been having so much trouble with walking and having no strength…2 of the drugs i’ve been taking have side effects and that’s why i’ve had so much trouble. i’ll be taking a break in between phases to see if i’ll get my strength back and be able to walk once the drugs have worn off.
me and mommy are missing daddy lots. i’m so glad he’ll be home on friday!
well, i’m going to go to bed now, nite nite!
