Another Abby Update

She has been dubbed “Our Million Dollar Kid”, but no matter the added costs, we have not hesitated to give her the best care possible.

She had another round of chemo Thursday.

A couple days prior, we noticed a large lump on her neck and her gums had dark spots all over them; because of that they took x-rays just to ensure she is responding to chemo.

Her X-rays look better than expected. The mass has shrunk and she has no fluid on her lungs. The tumor on her neck is an engorged lymph-node that shows she’s not going into remission unfortunately, but it’s nothing unexpected with as severe as her cancer is.

The dark spots on her guns are due to her liver enzymes being extremely elevated, while all of her blood cell counts are normal.

He prescribed another medicine (for her liver), so she’ll be on 4 daily 🤦‍♀️

Her next appointment is on November 2nd, and we will discuss a new treatment that we can give her from home.

I asked if we are being selfish and he said we are giving her a good quality of life for the time she has left. She’s not in pain, just worn out from chemo.

So we continue on. She is worth it.
