Well we were very excited on Wednesday 3/16/11, before she went for her BMB she had blood work and for the first time since October, her platelets jumped 10,000 to 35,000 and her RBC to 8.9. So we figure ok, trial starting to kick in right?????

Yesterday, she goes to have the drug disconnected from her port and starts bleeding from the port, so the dr. wanted to check her blood. Her platelets dropped to 17,000 and her RBC to 7. So today she is getting transfusions on both. What a drop in one day!!!! So I don't know where this is going, but I don't have a good feeling. I will know more next week, when we should get some results from BMB. And the roller coaster ride continues. Trying to optimistic but my mom look sooooo defeated yesterday. But she is such a trooper, I couldn't be prouder.

I will keep you all posted.

Paula
