To Everyone-
Well our first round of Chemo is over and what a relief!
As I said before Ret had 3 straight days of Chemo, the first day as they told us, 8 times the normal dosage or regular treatments and the last two days normal doses. Her doc and the rest of the team were blown away by how calm she was and how she handled it. That said however it wasn't without sickness, pain or emotional challenges, but again she handled it well. Easy for me to say huh!!??
We're two days into our 5 day GCSF shot regiment, which is meant to boost her white blood cell and stem cell counts. Then we're on our way to SCCA and the Hutch for new tests and to ready her for the stem cell harvest. That will be another challenge as well, but she's up to it, emotions are high but again she'll push through.
Thanks to all for the flowers and continued cards it really helps boost her spirits to know that so many of you are out there thinking about her.
Love
Ret & Jack
