April, 2012,
Apt with the Haematologist aka Dr Blood.....So yes, it was the day we had all
been waiting for..Chris, Magda, Susie & I were all there, yes we are a
force to be reckoned with! So Dr Blood started to talk about Chris's bone marrow
biopsy & we were all on the edge of our seats. He told us her bone marrow
was clear... Ah big sigh, phew, this was fantastic! He went on to say that even
though there was a small spot showing in her spleen & below her diaphragm,
he would not be changing her staging. He asked her about how she felt about the
clinical trial & she let him know that yes, she will participate in it. The
trial would also help future patients with Hodgkins Lymphoma & Chris liked
the idea of that.
We
talked to him further about natural therapies, as we had read about the B17
apricot kernels & spoke to him about Chris seeing an oncologist naturopath
that helps people strengthen their immune systems prior & during chemo. He
said yes, pursue this but just to let him know exactly what herbs were prescribed,
as some could counteract with the chemo. We all felt good with Dr blood &
we felt like he was our new "god". The man with the plan to help us
kill off the Lymphoma.
The
Dr doesn't yet have a start date for Chris's chemo treatment & we were a
little disheartened about that but he told us, Chris would get a call tomorrow
& the nurse from the clinical trial would book her in as soon as possible.
