Friday morning we headed back to clinic after our 11-day break. Yup, it was hard. According to her nurse, her counts were "beautiful," and so on to Delayed Intensification...
After a lumbar puncture with chemo, she got vincristine and a new chemo for her, doxorubicin. By the time we headed down to the pharmacy to wait for her dexamethasone prescription, she was done.
Her dex dosage is about 60% higher in this phase than it was in induction, but it's one week on, one week off, one week on - so we'll see how it goes. She's up and down - dancing and singing one minute, whining and clingy the next. These video clips tell the story well:
Today's chemo seemed to go fine (peg-asparaginase), but the end of the day was rough. Lots of crying and complaints of belly pain. Anti-nausea meds didn't do the trick and she couldn't keep her nighttime meds down. Hopefully she'll get a good night's sleep and feel a little better in the morning. Day 4 of this 56 day phase...
