So far the weekend has been uneventful. Luke was back at MDA on Friday for an appointment with the neurologist and to have some lab tests. He will likely have an MRI done to get to the bottom of his headaches.
Our hearts skipped more than just a few beats when the labs taken before his discharge on Thursday showed 1% blast cells. The doctors have assured us it was normal as his bone marrow is working overtime to produce blood cells. We smiled again on Friday when labs came back with 0% blasts.
We're enjoying the sunny and cool weather by taking walks Saturday and Sunday evening. Right now Luke is scheduled to be at MDA Monday for an anesthesiology assessment prior to having a port put in on Tuesday (this will make it easier for lab draws as well as chemo....basically he won't have the line in his arm). Wednesday he has clinic and starts chemo once again.
Fighting boredom and no appetite. If anyone has a cure for either let us know.

Awesome news, glad to hear it! Still on the lookout for Canadian/maple leaf bandanas or do-rags :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the appetite- smoothies are pretty intense!
Um, how about coloring some Easter eggs?
ReplyDeleteI know, kind of a "duh" suggestion. I bought some dye today and intend on doing it myself unless Mikey and Erica are up for the challenge.
