Lia had her chemo treatment on Wednesday, and has been a little under the weather this week.
Her hemoglobin came back at 8.3 and that was not good news. At 8 or less, Lia will have to have a blood transfusion. So we are hoping that next week Lia's hemoglobin result stays the same or improves.
She is trying to be her normal "smiley" self, but she looks very tired, one eye is dropping a bit (that's muscle and nerve weakness from the chemo drugs), and she is just very lethargic today.
The doctor says we should expect her side effects to really become more apparent now that Lia is well into her treatments.
We still have about 8 weeks until we get a new MRI to see if this first round of chemo has caused the tumor to shrink at all.
Lia's head measurement was once a gain larger...that is not a good sign.
Let's hope that the next few weeks of chemo are very productive in reducing the tumor's size.
Don't forget that there is a benefit Bowl-A-Thon for Lia on October 25th!
