This morning Brooklyn headed into Children's to begin her second phase of chemotherapy only to be told that she was once again neutropenic. Great. Her ANC had gone down from 3500 to 410. It's incredibly frustrating, because it means we have to be obsessively careful again. She hasn't been on any meds in a week but some quick research shows that chemo can be cumulative, so she is likely responding to her last round of vincristine.
So. NEXT week we begin phase two. With any hope, an extra week with no meds will help her immune system rebuild itself. I guess we will just take the opportunity to enjoy another week without any symptoms or side effects. What an anticlimactic day.
