Mary's Update 6/21/11

Sorry for the delay since the last update. After the last round of Chemo Mary has developed a severe rash again. This time however the areas all over her arms have severe itching that she did not experience the first time. Her arms and hands are swollen as well, this morning she can not even pickup her water cup so I will be helping her today with that. We are waiting for the counts to go up, but yesterday the white count dropped to it's lowest point at 0.4. This was disappoiniting to Mary as you can imagine, but some schools of thought around here seem to be that the count needed to get as low as possible before going up. Many patients go down to 0.2 or 0.3, but not everyone. Right now our main concern is getting the rash resolved. Mary thanks you all for your cards and prayers, keep them coming.

  2. What the heck is going on with that rash?! Hang in there, Mary. You are missed at work, especially since you are fast and know what you were doing.

    God will never leave you, nor forsake you.

    All the best! - Joan W. :)
