We also briefly discussed Reginas follow up therapy, because we want to do something instead of just waiting and hoping that nothing pops up from somewhere.
Dr Dhall suggested LOW dose temodor and accutane therapy. TEmodor is chemo, but together with accutane they compliment each other . BUT, if Reginas counts do not recover as well as needed, then we just do accutane ( which is actually ance drug). It has some side effects- blurred vision, fluid build up in brain( which will be removed through spine , Spinal tap). If it side effects get to severe, then we just stop therapy and keep on monitoring her. This therapy will last most likely up to a year( if she tolerates it well).
Now we are just waiting for side effects to show up... Please go donate blood and platelets. Platelets are needed more. Next week she needs most likely 3 platelet transfusions. Please :) It does not matter what blood type you have when donating platelets.

Was it the topotecan she had? Does it turn her skin a little dark?
She looks really good, somebody must be doing something right.
So GLAD to hear all is going better then you expected. I hope it continues that way. Still remembering her and her family in my prayers.

Hei Patty, I visit your blog at least couple of times a week, because it has best jokes and funny stories in the world on it.
No Kathy, it was Thiotepa. Her skin gets really dry and when I do not wash it, then chemo that is coming out from sweating pores, dries out and looks like white dandruff. I am keeping my fingers crossed. During last round she got fever exactly 2 days after chemo. So far so good!!!
