Allergies?

Ashley was supposed to get DOX-O (strong chemo) today, but after looking at her counts, the doctor decided not to give it to her. Ashley's WBC and ANC were both very low. The doctor said that he didn't want her counts to drop any lower so he cancelled it. She still received VCR (chemo). She has been sneezing a lot these last 5 mornings, so the doctor said that allergies or a virus could be the cause for the extremely low counts. So this week, we are praying that she won't get sick and that her counts will go up. I guess that is our prayer every week, but again, we ask God to refuel the white blood cells so they can fight infection. Also, next week Ashley will have an ultrasound and cat-scan done to see if any of the tumor has spread. Please pray that the cancer cells are gone.

Next week is our last week of the 10 straight weeks of chemo. After that, she will receive chemo every 3 weeks (strong doses), until mid-January. We are a third of the way through this! Yeah!

Thanks for praying!!!
We thank God for knowing just what Ashley needs and taking care of her.
