Bone Biopsy Results

Mom's positive thinking is paying off. This afternoon, Mom and Poppie waited with anticipation for her Oncologist to share last weeks bone biopsy results. Mom continues to put smiles on her Doctors faces. Her results are showing that her body is fighting hard. She is at 4% range with blasts (white cells). Anything under 5% is good. This means Mom has a good chance to get into remission after her 3rd round of Chemo.

This Friday or Monday Mom is expected to be admitted into the hospital for what is called a Consolidation Period of Chemo treatment. This is for 6 days of Chemo and then the patient is sent home. Yes, if the patient develops a fever or other complicating outcomes, the patient will be re-admitted into the hospital immediately for treatment and observation.

Here is the process of Consolidation. After the 6 days of receiving Chemo the patient is sent home. Monday and Thursday's the patient has an In service Nurse drawing blood and checking all vitals and present condition of the patient. Tuesday and Friday's the patient goes back to the hospital for any IV transfusions that may be needed according to the previous day results.

I will add more as the specific days unfold.

Today is a new path for more good news to follow as her treatment begins. Keep your positive thinking, healing energy, and prayers flowing. I know, Mom will be enjoying life to its fullest, traveling and enjoying with friends and family in all settings in months to come.

I will post again when Mom is admitted back into the hospital.

All Our Warmth and Love,
Momma Ruthie, Poppie, Mike, Cindy, Brian, Reece, Kimmy and I
