Cheryl had the second session of this round of her chemotherapy today. This went quicker than her previous session since she only received the anti-nausea drug and Gemzar. Other than being a bit tired this afternoon, she is feeling well.
They checked her CBC (Complete Blood Count) before beginning her chemo and all of her red and white cells are still in normal range. The nurse also gave her the CA125 result from the test which was performed before they began chemo last week. The count was 282.3, a rise of 78.3 from April test. This will be the baseline that Dr. Negrea and Dr.Burke will use to determine if this chemotherapy mix is working.
Cheryl's next chemotherapy will be on June 10th and that is also when she will have her next CA125 count done. We are praying that the numbers will begin to drop after this first round of chemo but it may take up to two rounds to see if it is working.
We appreciate the notes, cards, letters, calls and rides to Savannah. We ask for your continued prayers for Cheryl's recovery.
Thanks for the prompt updates. We're praying with you all for that "knock-out" punch for this cancer. We're glad that you're feeling well through the chemo, Cheryl. Love you!
ReplyDeleteJud,
ReplyDeleteI am keeping Cheryl in my prayers and ask that the Lord will place His healing hand on her and make these rounds of chemo work for her.
May the Lord bless you both and your family.
