Emmy's Story Archive

Today marks the beginning of her third week of chemotherapy treatment which leaves nine more before we will do all new imaging (MRI, CT scan, PET scan) to see if the chemo is having a positive (shrinking) effect on the tumor.

That brings us to today. No chemo this week (thankfully), just more of a wait and see approach as we monitor her numbers and their anticipated drop. After completing a treatment run this tough she has historically needed multiple rounds of blood products (both blood and platelets) to get her through to the next step. Anticipating this, we have no intention of taking her anywhere far from the hospital.
