Consolidation 2 Cycle 4B

Today Erika will begin the second portion of Cycle 4 of Consolidation 2, since it was last split in two. Todays examination she failed a test. Her toes and the bottom of her feet are showing signs of possible nerve damage. When the PA bent her toes up, Erika couldnt tell. When her toes and the bottom of her feet were poked with a tooth pick Erika was unable to feel it. It is no wonder why when I try to tickle her at the bottom of her feet she doesnt respond.

One of the chemo she recieves, vincristine, which causes nerve damage, will be decreased in strength today. We do not know at this point if what she has is permanent.

  1. Hi Sis,
    I'm sorry you don't have feeling in your feet :-( Paul & I pray that this condition is only temporary. In the meantime be extra careful moving around. *hugs*
    You are doing a great job of being strong, keeping the faith and kicking ALL in the butt! :-)
    XOXOXOXO
