Helloooooooooooooooooo readers,

Well since the last time we blogged Karen has reached some milestones. Karen saw the doctor on Tuesday and he reiterated that Karen is doing remarkably well despite the aggressive chemo she has endured over the past 16 weeks, her weight has pretty much remained the same for the past month.  He is just amazed.  While at the doctor's office one of the chemo nurses came in with her husband, suspecting he had cancer.  On Thursday (06/14) Karen completed her last round of chemotherapy.   We found out at that time the nurse's husband did not have cancer.  We were so thankful to God for their good news.  After Karen's chemo infusion, the nurses struck up the party favors, with a tambourine, noise makers, bubbles and applause, and presented Karen with a certificate of chemo completion.  See the attached picture.

Prior to the chemo, the nurses perform routine blood test, and all of Karen's numbers were "A okay."
It was a slow day at the infusion center, as management is trying to give the nurses an extra day off. As the nurse relayed it to us, she stated, "we are trying to DISPOSE of our patients on Thursday, so more of us can have the day off."  Karen was unsure what was meant by this statement, and was glad to get out of there alive.

She went on Friday for hopefully her last Neulasta shot, the one that keeps her white blood count up.
She has to go through some more blood tests over the next two weeks, just to make sure her blood numbers are good and holding, and to check the cancer markers.  After that it, if all stays well, it will be a monthly blood test, bone enhancing shots, and the clearing of her infusion port.  She will have an entire body PET scan sometime within the next four weeks comparing the tumors prior to and after the chemo.  We are praying for the best.

After partying at the infusion center, there is no holding her back.  Karen is ready to P A R T Y. LOL :o)   Yeah right! 

Thanks for reading and your support.  May God bless you! :o)
