Leukemia 101

This blog is for and dedicated to my mom Robin. Robin was diagnosed with Accute Myelogenous Leukemia on March 16th 2010. After some tests to find out the cause of her fatigue, it was revealed that she had a low hemoglobin level. upon further tests and a bone marrow biopsy doctors determined that she has Leukemia. So with that being said this is her story.

Round 3

Well it has been several days since I last updated and things have continued to go very well. Monday Mom checked back into the hospital for round 3 of the consolidation treatments. This round has gone just about as well as the others. Very little adverse reaction only one small bout of nausea and upset stomach. My mom is the strongest most amazing woman that I know. She should be out by the end of the weekend and hopefully she sill do as well as the last time when she was out for about 2 weeks straight. Thank you to those of you that continue to call and visit it is truly appreciated. Love to all.

Home again

Mom got her last treatment of chemo for this round on Saturday evening and Sunday morning she got to go home again. She will be home again for a few days until they check her blood on Thursday and determine if she will need to be admitted or will be able to stay home for a few more days. It will all depend on the levels of platelets and neutraphils. In the meantime she is still feeling great and trying to be semi-normal while at home. Love to all.
