Well, mom's lethargy since Wednesday was explained during Friday's blood work-- low red blood cell count. Queue the vampire music. So a transfusion was scheduled for Saturday morning. As anticipated, it helped almost immediately. The "good" news is that the white blood cell count was fine so mom will be in the chemo ward Tuesday for #5. She's been holding up amazingly well, all things considered.
I've already made plans to be back to help her through #6 mid-March.
Dr. C had a substitute, Dr. M, meet with Mom and Sister A on Friday. Sister A liked him. He looked at mom and directed questions to her. He gave them some generic info on radiation therapy and when it might be recommended, but no one wants to get too far ahead of the current process.
For now, it's chemo poisons vs. cheneys and we fervently pray the poison is winning.
