With Kristin home from the hospital, we have had some time to relax and recharge. Kristin is defiantly enjoying being able to kick back in her recliner, if only for a short time. We will be returning to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis next week to begin the next phase of treatment. The initial Consolidation Phase treatment plan will involve an additional course of chemotherapy. During a 5-7 day stay, she will receive 30 rounds of chemotherapy, or 6 doses per day over a 5-day period. Upon completion, unlike her previous chemo protocol, she will continue her treatment and recovery at home. This will include a 14-day course of oral chemotherapy support medication for her FLT3 mutation, as well as, regular trips to Mountain Home for lab work and blood products. If all goes as planned, we should be home in time for Christmas.
