Went in to KRCC today for Bone Marrow biopsy. The results will determine whether or not the Induction Phase of Stephanie’s chemotherapy have been successful in killing off all of cancerous white blood cells in her blood and bone marrow. Stephanie was pretty good about the whole thing, despite the screaming from the fear and pain. Mom did OK too this time (the first time, despite being a nurse herself, she had to brought back in a wheelchair because she was feeling faint).

Stephanie’s blood counts were very good this time – although still very low, she can more safely be around other people.

Although Stephanie is only due back to KGH on Thursday to be admitted for the next phase of chemo, Mom and Stephanie decided to stay at Almost Home for this evening and Wednesday. That way, we won’t have to leave from Trenton at 6:30 Thursday morning to make it to Kingston for 8:00. As well, it’ll give them a nice “mother and daughter” break.
