Well, on Friday I took Viv to the clinic for two reasons. One, she had this really bad rash that I thought was from the sun exposure and all the meds but it looked awful and she was really itchy. Two, she needed a counts check after a increase in her Methotrexate. Even though Methotrexate does not decrease counts like the 6MP pill does they just wanted to check since they were taking her dose from a 50% level to a 75% level. Well, her ANC dropped, A LOT. She had been in the 3,000 for two months, hence the chemo increase, and her ANC is now 700. UGH!!
Dr. Ayyanar came in with her "concerned" face and said, "well maybe she has a virus cause her ANC is low but not too low to hold chemo. So, watch her for a fever cause it is possible and be very careful with her exposure to others."
So, our two days of normalcy this week were ended with this. Abigail, the kids 8 year old cousin, had spent two nights with us this week and we swam with cousins and friends for 2 days. So much for trying to be normal. We'll recheck counts in a week and see how she is.
