After a week of her 10th chemotherapy being delayed, Mama’s CBC result last February 13 came out good. Thus, Mama was able to proceed to her 10th chemotherapy session last February 15-17. This is a photo of her during her first day (of 10th session) at the hospital.Mama’s 11th chemotherapy. . . . .

Mama’s 10th chemotherapy session is supposed to be last February 8-10. Unfortunately, as per her doctor, her CBC is too low for her too proceed. Her doctor has been worried that her body might not take the chemotherapy well with this results. Thus, she decided to delay Mama’s 10th session

To check the effectiveness of her chemotherapy, Mama has been opted to undergo CT Scan before her 9th m session.As for her chest scan, unfortunately, at least 3 new non calcified pulmonary nodules has been detected in Mama’s left lower lobe. But our hopes are high that it will shrink. . . . .

So before every session, she is required to have her CBC, ALT, AST, and Creatinine tested to make sure her body can take the chemotherapy drugs. Here are the results of her blood exams.Since it is already her 5th chemo session, the doctors needed to know if she is responding. . . . .
