Tia will be home until Sunday the 27th. While she is weak, she would love to have visitors (as long as you are not feeling ill).
I will be taking the girls (and Bobby) to Costa Rica for thanksgiving week but Tia's relatives and friends from back east are coming out to keep her company.
On Monday the 28th, Tia will begin the next round of treatment. Her counts are still very low and if they don't come up she will be too weak for another round of chemo. If that is the case, she will begin radiation. If she is strong enough, however, then she will do another round of chemo.
She has three indices that need to improve. First, her platelets which are at 40,000 need to be at 100,000 without any more transfusions. Second, her white blood count needs to be over 5,000 without help from the neulasta - it also has a ways to go. Third, what was that third thing... Oops.
She will be going back regularly to city of hope to have blood work performed and I will keep you posted on the results.
Root for high numbers!
Thanks
