Canada Day Update

Happy Canada Day!  We got out of the house and went to the Port Moody Firefighters pancake breakfast and spent an hour at Rocky Point Park to hit up the petting zoo.  Charlotte has no immune system right now - but since it was all outside - we ventured out!

We finished up the consolidation phase on Wednesday.  We are scheduled to start the interim maintenance phase on Friday but this will be count dependent again.  Her platelets have to be 75 and her ANC has to be 0.75.  Since we were delayed an extra 2 weeks at the midway point of this last phase - I have low expectations that we will actually start on Friday.  We will be getting blood work done on Thursday and will know that afternoon.  This next phase is roughly 2 months, with 2-3 night overnight hospital visits every 2 weeks.  She'll be getting a new chemo drug called High Dose Methotrexate (along with a few others) and we will be staying in the hospital until it's out of her system (typically 2 nights but could be a bit longer).  I'll get more info on the first day of the phase on the side effects, what to expect, etc.  I'll share once we know more.
