Another round of treatments next week

Sophia has been doing great....I would say around day 10 after her 1st day of treatments, she started getting her energy back....this week her white blood cell count was a bit low so she had to get a shot on Tuesday and Wednesday as well as a pill (not sure of the names of the medications) BUT....they help produce more white blood cells which she needs to be able to start her next round of treatments. The side effects of these pills and shots are very sore bones all over her body....which she has definitely felt....but still a trooper!

She will start her 2nd round of treatments on Jan 19, 20 & 21

I didn't mention this before but we wanted to make sure we thank her ob/gyn Dr Sheryl Ross who has been a superhero from day 1 and made sure Sophia got the best and quickest attention she could have possibly had....It is very comforting to know you have someone like her in your corner during times like this....
