Increasing Chemo

Another month has passed and we are one month closer to having our little girl off treatment and cancer free. As anticipated the increase in chemo brought the return of chemo side effects. We spent several days with a lethargic toddler that preferred doing nothing. We knew she did not feel good when she did not want to go outside. Our little red head lost about a third to half of her red curls she had accumulated. Since entering the maintenance phase of treatment her hair had returned thick and with beautiful curls, the additional chemo left us with handfuls of hair . . . everywhere. After much discussion we reluctantly agreed that it was time to cut her remaining hair and then it stopped falling out. So no hair cut and she is left with a very thin beautiful head of red curls. She remembers bandannas and is cooperative of wearing head cover when she is outside. Other side effects have been combated with meds and overall she has returned to our little girl. Thanks for continuing to pray for our little girl.
