|Sweetie’s Progress- December 2009
Thursday, December 24th, 2009
Blog Six: Well, we’ve beaten the odds. Sweetie has lived one year — six months beyond the expected outcome for Lymphocytic Leukemia. Last week, at her “fighting weight” of 47.3#, she finally was able to do her entire, beloved Vanderbilt circuit. We plan to decrease her CEENU dose slightly by dosing her every 4th week, instead of every third. This is still a published protocol, and while one might say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but Sweetie is clearly in remission, so lowering her drug dosages are indicated. Everything has gone wonderfully well for Sweetie in 2009 – let’s look forward to a wonderful 2010!
