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.

A better day

I just talked to Mom and Dad and they said today was a really good day! The doctor told them that today should have been the worst day for Mom but she was doing very well. So he decided to put the chemo back up to full strength because her kidney function was doing much better. She only had 3 episodes of nauesa today. On the down side Mom's anti-bodies attacked and killed off all of the platelets that they had given her so they are sending some samples to Los Angeles as they are looking for a better match for her. She sounded good and said she was feeling pretty good although very tired and ready for much needed sleep. They had lots of family stop by today and it helps to pass the time.
