She's a superhero!

Or superhuman, or something. Maybe they should do a study on her. This is unprecedented. She never even went neutropenic this week! Today should be her nadir (ie, when her blood counts bottom out and she's subceptable to all kinds of infections) but instead she's got flying colors on red, white and platelets! This is the part of the regimen where delay is likely because the patient's body doesn't rebound as quickly, so starting the next treatment is put off until their counts are good. Instead, she beats her recovery record by 3 or 4 days! She was a tad tired early in the week, and we suspected she'd need a hemoglobin transfusion, but no... now she's eating voraciously (always a good sign), enjoying time with her brother and family, swimming, playing, doing summery stuff while we redesign her bedroom and bathroom (more on that later) and aside from being completely hairless and still limping on her dropfoot you'd never suspect she was ill in any way. Know why? Because she's not! As far as I'm concerned she's cancer-free and has only three more treatments to go. Then we're going to Disneyland!
