We've had a difficult week this week, but Millie has made it through and made her counts to boot. Her platelets were low, but improved enough to go ahead with our 6th cycle of chemotherapy- starting today.
We're so glad to stay on schedule for this cycle, as our surgery is now scheduled for March 26 and a delay in the 6th cycle would mean a delay in the surgery.
This week in the hospital we've got plenty scheduled on top of the daily chemo- we've got a bone scan, a CT Scan, and another MRI on Monday. We should learn a lot about how the chemotherapy has attacked the tumor.
After this cycle, we have no more chemo in March and much of April as her body gets strength for, and recovers from, the surgery. This has been a milestone for us- only thinking as far as the surgery date- just focusing on the first 6 cycles of chemo, and getting the tumor removed. And we're nearly there!
