We have hair!

Number five out of twelve treatments down, thats 42% done with this round! We met with the doctor this afternoon and he said Holly's white blood count went from 700,000 to 200,000 which means it is back to booster shots twice a week. That was not really that unexpected but is still kind of a bummer. On a positive note, Holly is sprouting some new hair which the doc said would probably grow, very, very slowly and should stay put. Holly has some nice fuzz growing that appears to be a bit darker than before, it will be interesting to see how it comes in. The other good thing that came out of today was that the doctor had a hard time feeling the tumor so he is ordering an ultrasound after next weeks treatment, heres hoping the thing shrinks even more! Dr. Dobhi did get a little mad at Holly for her big concert weekend but she promised to behave this week so he let her off the hook.

All in all, things are going well, besides the fatigue, Holly's other biggest side effect is restless sleep but drugs can help that. Holly has been able to work all week yet agai,n but she is working at a much slower pace, finding it hard to keep her train of thought and has to stop to rest occasionally.

Thanks to everybody for the continued good wishes, talk to you all later.
