Journal entry by Melissa Carlin —
I sent out this post in an email a week ago, and forgot to post it here. Sorry.
Hello!
Just wanted to give you all a quick update. Mom made it through her third cycle of the second part of her treatment (the pill - venetoclax) with no signs of the tumor lysis syndrome, but moving on to her highest dose (the dose she will be on for the next 11 months) has been halted due to her numbers being too low again. She will be doing the injection medication again for 3 days, hoping to stimulate her bone marrow to make more good infection-fighting blood cells.
She's a true fighter, and is doing quite well.
Thank you for everything!
Melissa
