Yesterday mom’s energy was really low. She didn't get much sleep the night before so she was extremely tired and worn down. She did feel better as the day went on. Her doctors said that so far everything is looking great.
They got her 922 (Philadelphia Chromosome) test back from her bone marrow biopsy and it was negative, which is great news. A positive test would have meant that a bone marrow transplant would be required. She may still need one, depending on how treatment goes, but it’s a good thing it’s not a requirement.
Today she will be getting some blood platelet transfusions. Her platelet count is low, which means her blood is too thin and could cause bleeding issues. Once they get her platelet count back up, she’ll then get a spinal tap and also a spinal chemo injection.
I’ll continue spending most of my days at the hospital and will be sure to post any news when I have it.
