Greta met with her oncologist on Tuesday. He was very pleased with Greta's response to her treatment for her ITP earlier last month. Once again her platelet count was nice and high. Although there is the potential for them to drop again so we're still on guard for any signs of bruising and bleeding. Her weight also took a big jump since her last appointment, she's packed on almost 2 1/2 lbs this month. The other great improvement has been to her bowel movements. They used to be so painful for her that she would hold her breath and then cry out in pain during them. Now we aren't even aware when they're happening.
The great news is we don't need to go back for two more weeks for her labs and then she'll be scheduled for a CT scan and a bone scan in early August.
We hope everyone is having as great a summer as we are!
