Well, Happy New Year! And it is for us. Sara went to Seattle last week for her last big dose of chemo. It made her pretty sick but the chemo is working. Dr. Lin said he wanted her to do the full four rounds of this treatment as it was working so well. Her dad and mom {me} took her to Coeur d' Alene for her treatment yesterday. Her blood count was high enough to get her next to the last dose. Next friday, she will go to Cda for, hopefully her very last dose of intraveinous chemo. Being able to go to Cda has been a big relief. Then back to Seattle for an octreatide scan to determine the next step.
Dr. Lin has not decided yet how to do the maintenance chemo, but we have total confidence in his decisions.
There is not much to report at this time as we are just getting Sara through these next few weeks. I will update this blog at that time, then hope that we will become very boring and no one will even bother to check this anymore.
The past two years have been a whirlwind of ups and downs and inside outs. I know other people have had their own struggles and I can only hope they have experienced the support we have. I know Sara D. has been an inspiration to everyone. {She makes me feel like a big cry baby.}
So check back later and See whassup. Thanks to everyone and much love.
