My mom's WBC have dropped again. Last week they were down to 400 but are back up to 1100 this week. She's off treatments again. Her doctors have different theories (of course) on what the next step is. One wants her to stop treatments all together and let her body heal. She would restart them if her cancer numbers got bad again. Her other doctor wants her to continue a low dose permenantly-as long as her body can handle it. Both theories make sense but who will win?
She has also stopped Zometa treatments. During her annual dentist appointment, the x-rays showed a dark spot on her jaw. Apparently long exposure to Zometa causes something of the jaw. I can't remember what the word was but nevertheless she's stopped Zometa and will have x-rays again in a month.
Sorry I only post when there is not so great news. Hopefully there will be some victories to report soon.
