Yesterday her WBC count was 23,700. My mom chose to go with the oral chemo. She is just not ready to give up......... BTW, the doctor (who I absolutely love) doesn't speak clear, he mumbles his words and my mom doesn't hear well (not a great combination) so she didn't hear that she has AML, she heard its turning into AML. We didn't realize this until after we left and we were talking. She said, "I have to do the oral chemo to keep it from turning into leukemia". My dad and I just looked at each other. We didn't have the heart to set the story straight. Her top number of her blood pressure was 194 and her oxygen level was 82. We didn't want to upset her any more. Do you think this was the right decision?
