Nancy had her check-up and second chemo treatment Friday and everything is hunky-dory!!! Dr Han says she is handling the chemo extremely well, more like a woman in her 30's than in her 60's. In particular, her immune system is doing fine, with all parameters still in normal ranges, which means the risk of complication from infections is no worse than in daily life. In fact, the only thing that is out of normal range is the blood hemoglobin, but that is expected in chemo treatments and hers is only slightly below normal. Low hemoglobin is the main cause of the tiredness that accompanies chemo.
We are ecstatic!!!
