Hi Everyone...
Jaimee had a PET scan appointment at 6am last Friday but was unble to go through with it because her glucose count was way to high...Finally last tuesday Jaimee's count was good enough to take her scan and today we received the results...
Dr. Aremian said the lumps went down which is great but because of the Neulasta shot (builds up the white count) Jaimee's WBC was at 71000 which makes it look like she has leukemia in her bone marrow which freaks out the nurses...Dr. Armenian assured us that it's probably the Neulasta that is making the results look bad and we'll have to take another PET scan after two more rounds of chemotherapy...He will lower her dose of Neulasta by 50% and if her count is still to high he may have to take her off of Neulasta before her next scan...
No room in the Pediactric ward this morning :( which was ok cuz we got to give Jai her last good meal (back home) before she checks into the hospital tonight...hopefully the all you can eat sushi digests (cooked) before she gets sick from the chemo, we don't want all that seafood coming back up :0
Jaimee is responding well to her therapy and we will continue with the same treatment with the exception of Neulasta...WoooHooo...
Hopefully Jaimee will be checking out of the Hospital on Monday...

You go girl! Chemo just sucks and we're so sorry you have to go through it all!!! But, you are so strong, resilient, positive and optimistic - you can do anything! We are so proud of you and can't wait to visit when your counts are up! Believe me, if there is one thing I understand - it's blood counts! Ha, ha.
