Hold on............believe it or not..............we do not have to go back to Dr. Barth's office until Friday! I am more than shocked and am so happy not to have to drive to Newport every single morning. I can work in the boy's classrooms this week and get a little more "normal" going on! We are so excited........as long as Gary's behaves! He has gained 7 LBS in a week and we need to keep feeding him! As long as he eats and drinks plenty of non-caffeinated beverages he will remain at home each day!
Gary's platelets went up 10,000 over the weekend and Dr. Barht expects them to keep climbing. Gary can't have chemo again until they are closer to 150,000 and he is at 60,000 right now.
Dr. Barth is very, very pleased and I will go so far as to say happy with Gary's amazing progress. We will have some testing done in April but he warned us that the effects of the radiation will continue up to 6 months after the very last treatment. In other words, if we see dramatic progress in April then we can expect to see even greater progress mid-July!
I have to go but wanted to post and share our findings today!
Love, L
