Last week blood counts showed an ANC of 1008. Back onto oral chemo he went. Because Jethenro has had so many chemo holds from low blood counts even though he is on 50-85% in his dosages for chemo, the ONC team is altering
his prophylactic antibiotic. He begins a once a month regimen of an inhaled antibiotic that many leukemia patients use. He will have to go to the hospital as an outpatient for this 'nebulizer' treatment of 'pentam'.
He still has a little bit of congestion in the mornings, but seems to have squashed the flu bug that landed him in the hospital.

Praying that Pentam is the key to good counts. Bactrim crashes D's counts and Dapsone causes his Hgb to drop. Pentam works well for us.
ReplyDeleteThx for the encouragement Ann~glad it worked for D. Could it be our boys are too healthy for bactrim? lol
