We're going with "cautiously optimistic" to describe the visit from the doctor today. Mom jokes that she'll most likely be home by Christmas, because she was told when she came back in this time that she needed 30 treatments at 5 days on and two off. So we had calculated that the end of August was a realistic release time. Today, doc said she will be released in about 10 days. She'll have another blood marrow biopsy as an outpatient at some point after she goes home. The trajectory of her results continues to be in the right direction, so when she goes home (possibly by August 1 now) she'll be on and off the oral chemo in a smaller dose. That will be two weeks on, two weeks off, with monthly office visits.
Your prayers and visits and outpouring of love and support have meant so much to her stay here being tolerable. Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.
So glad to hear the home by Christmas I heard about at QFC was not for real! August 1st sounds doable! You go, Charlotte, keep on getting those good reports!
