Friday at Emory was a very long and tiring day with 4 different appointments. These included a lab appointment to get blood drawn for tests, an appointment with her main Dr., then a consultation with the radiologist about the full body radiation she will get for 2 days during conditioning and finally a bone marrow biopsy at 3pm. She felt no pain at all on this biopsy.
She has felt good this weekend with just mild fatigue. An hour nap during the day seems to help. The med called Valtrex was reduced to 500mg per day from 3000. This really helped with the fatigue.
Our next appointment is with a social worker for a family meeting. On the 18th she goes in for her body to be measured so the radiation amount can be calculated correctly. We are still scheduled to check in on the 26th to start conditioning process.
She is enjoying feeling good again and having a normal appetite.
Thanks for caring about her so much.
