Margy had two long days of heavy dose chemo this past weekend in the hospital. She was in the hospital for 12+ hours each day. Fortunately this is the last scheduled chemo for mom's post transplant treatment. Going forward, Margy's days will hopefully usually be between two to four hours in the hospital with an occasional long day for some extra blood products or medication of some sort.
Today they found some more antibodies in Margy's blood. Although the levels may still qualify as normal, they are giving Margy plasmapharesis tomorrow. This means a longer day for mom. Margy has bravely endured these almost three years and now more recently with pre and post transplant. I am so proud of her and happy that her spirits have been well through this time. Due to the extended period of time for treatment, we have needed friends and other family to step in as caregivers and are so grateful for all their help. It is amazing who shows up to help in these moments of need.
Here you can find the latest information on Margy's progress with MDS. We hope this will be a resource for patients, families, and friends dealing with Myelodysplastic Syndromes and other types of cancer. To subscribe to updates to this blog, click here:
