It's been two weeks and things are on track.
- Mrs. Talbott has started
radiation therapy, and is tolerating it.
- She's on iron and vitamin
C (helps with iron absorption).
- It hasn't been long enough
to see much change in her CBC, but we know her
reticulocyte count
is rising, so it's working..
- She is experiencing quite
a bit of nausea, but dealing with it.
- Oral iron supplement will
do this.
- Clearly the radiation
treatments will do this.
- And, she's pregnant.
- She has stage IA Hodgkin's
, so we are hopeful of a cure.
- Fortunately, she has
a good support network, and is getting help watching her three-year
old while she's having therapy.
- Friends from her church
have been bringing by meals.
- Her oncologist has put
her in touch with a support group so she can learn first-hand
what to expect from the therapy.
- Given the possibilities,
this is a pretty good outcome.
Let's sum
it up
