Chemo resumes

After 3 weeks on chemo break,  Olivia's blood counts finally normalized and is now back on her chemo regimen. Her ANC is now 1520! Yay!  But because she has had 2 episodes of fever& neutropenia,  the doctors had to take down the chemo dosage to about 60% of what she normally takes. Her blood counts will also be closely monitored. Until she goes back to 100% of the dosage,  she will have to get regular check ups and blood work every 2 weeks now instead of once a month. When her blood counts show consistent good results,  only then will she be back on her normal dosage.

I'm hoping she adjusts well with chemo after taking a short hiatus.
