Baby S Update 9.2.08
Posted by: Devyl GyrlBaby S is neutropenia so she was not able to start her four-hour chemo session today. 
This, of course, puts her behind schedule. She’s supposed to get her treatment the same day every week, so they were saying they were going to put it off a full week. However, they are going to keep her overnight tonight, with lots of fluids, and see if that helps. If so, they’ll allow her to have her chemo treatment tomorrow … which means an extra night in the hospital (because the treatment is 4 hours, then she has to have 20 hours of rehydration).
If she isn’t up on her counts tomorrow, they are going to put it off for a whole week and see if that gives her system enough time to build itself back up.
The first scenario is the best, all around. Each week we push back her chemo, we’re also pushing back her surgery. The chemo BEFORE the surgery is only SHRINKING the tumor, not killing it entirely. So, if she has to wait an extra week (or two … or three), the tumor (and, therefore, the cancer) are STILL in her body, and STILL have the chance to metastasize (spread).
Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We truly appreciate all of the emotional support we have received thus far- ya’ll are absolutely amazing!
