Medical Update July 15, 2014

 I am happy to say that the difference in Sue’s energy and strength between this visit and my visit over July 4^th is amazing to see. She is doing so much better and seems much less painful!!! Yay!!!!!

On the down side she went in for her 2^nd Chemo today and it got postponed due to her low White blood cell count. They think this is not surprising as the radiation suppresses her bone marrow and then, last weeks chemo on top of that was just a bit hard on her body. They are not worried about it but will recheck her lab work next week before they resume chemotherapy.

They are asking her to take precautions however to reduce the chances of any infection due to the fact that her immune system is so suppressed.

Dr Te’ said she should reduce her exposure to the general public. Of course for “social Sue” this is like being in a prison cell, so please just call prior to dropping by. Make sure you are in good health, and please use the hand disinfectant on the bench inside the door. As kissable as she is, it’s probably best if you just blow her a kiss.

We’ll keep you posted.
