Back on Chemo
K went in for a fistulagram, a small outpatient surgery, on the 4th. Her fistula had a narrow section, which they widened. She had strong bad reactions to the Gleevec during September, and her WBC dropped precipitously low. So her Oncologist took her off it for October. She seemed to have less symptoms, especially the nausea, as the Gleevec left her system. On Friday the doc reported her WBC is back up to the top of the "normal" range. He's put her back on Gleevec, but with a 25% reduced dose.
