Holli continues to do well. She had a pretty rough week after her first chemotherapy treatment but felt much better the next week. She had her second treatment yesterday and so far has only had some nausea. Her blood counts looked good. She had a chest x-ray done to evaluate a cough and it looked normal as well. She also continues to get a white cell stimulator shot the day after chemotherapy to keep her from becoming too immune suppressed.
She will continue chemotherapy treatments every other week for two more cycles, then weekly for a total of 16 cycles. Her oncologist told her that she is probably through the worst of the side effects and that her medications will continue to control her symptoms. She will continue to be immune suppressed and will need to avoid crowed public places or sick individuals.
Please continue to pray for Holli that the chemotherapy will eradicate any potential cancer cells that escaped into her body before the surgery and that she will have limited side effects from the treatments.
