I went to the doctor today with Mom and we found out some of the
results of her bone marrow biopsy from last week. The report was
pretty much what was expected. Dr. Wallentine indicated that the
bone marrow was in an early stage of recovery. However, he wasn't
quite able to say that she was in remission because there were still
some cancer cells present. He recommends that Mom start a second
round of chemo therapy on Monday. He was going to talk to one of the
pathologists about mom's situation and then call her on Saturday and
let her know whether he recommends that she have a continuous
infusion of chemo at the hospital for 5 days, or whether she receives
her chemo in 3 doses next week at their lab and goes home each time
with some sort of a "piggy back" pack. More to come tomorrow.
