AMY FINISHED HER FINAL TREATMENT!

Yesterday was a good day! Amy’s neutrophils were the highest they have ever been at .7, so we decided to proceed. It is obviously still very low, but it is good for her! We toasted to her last treatment with sparkling cider, and all the staff was very happy for her. Her nurse for the last treatment actually had hodgkins lymphoma herself, so it was really nice talking to her about her experience. 

The plan is for a PET scan in 6 weeks, and that will be the baseline scan to compare to from then on. She will get CT scans every 3 months for the next year and then go from there. She had plans to get her port removed, but with the corona virus, any procedure that is not urgent is being postponed for now, which makes sense. On that note, clearly covid-19 is our biggest concern right now with Amy being immunocompromised. The doctor didn’t have much to say except for her to self quarantine and keep washing her hands. She is going to just try and be very careful and get through the next 2 months, and hopefully her neutrophils will be back to normal at that point. 

Amy still has some hair! There are some spots that are bare, and we don’t know what the next few weeks will bring. You may see her wearing some fun wigs sometimes, and not at others.

She has one more week of feeling bad, so don’t forget to text and keep the love coming this upcoming week! She is almost through this!

Amy wants to thank everyone for all the love and support you all have shown her throughout this process. You made the journey so much more manageable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
