In and Out

Greta's 11th round of chemo was a quick one. Only 24 hours to get hydrated and administer the two drugs. One drug is being dropped just in case radiation is needed. Greta also needed a blood transfusion I believe this was her 10th or 11th one so far.

We met with Greta's doctor Thursday and discussed some possible steps to take for the rest of Greta's care. There is still a possibility of radiation although her doctors and her parents are hoping to avoid that as it comes along with certain spinal growth retardation as well as a likelihood of lung or heart damage. It seems that stem cell transplant is our most favorable option. The Tumor Board at DeVos was to discuss Greta's case today and make their recommendation, unfortunately we had not heard the outcome of that meeting before leaving the hospital today.


All we know for now is that Greta will be getting 3 more rounds of chemo which would put us right around Thanksgiving for completion.


Please continue to keep us and the doctors in your prayers as we have a difficult decision to make in the next coming months.


Thank you,
