The other day, Olivia visited another dentist for a 3rd opinion regarding her cavities. This time we went to the dentist referred to us by her oncologist. We were ready to do the procedure with sedation, but upon discussing with her Olivia's case, she said that it's not worth fixing the cavities right now. Yeah!!! We just have to be really careful in taking care of her teeth in order to prevent further decay or worse, infection. I'm relieved that Olivia doesn't need to go through with the procedure for now, which means no additional sedation drugs on her body and one less traumatic experience. We just have to get her examined again after 6 months.
Here's Olivia enjoying her stroll after the dentist appointment. Her hair is getting so thick now!!!
Her last blood counts showed low ANC at 750 (neutropenic again; normal is 1,500). I have been recording her blood counts and I do see a pattern now on when her counts usually go down. It helps to monitor her pattern so we could at least know ahead of time if we should take extra precautions when going out.
