Hi everyone, Abigail starts chemo, azacitidine, today. in just a few hours. she had to have her broviac line removed due to an infection 2 weeks ago, but that made her happy. so in between chemo the last week we went camping and swam, swam, swam! then she was readmitted to UCSF for the chemo that will be administered for 5 days every 28 days for at least 6 months. then they will check her bone marrow to see when she goes into remission again and then give her a large amount of donor cells to hopefully induce GVHD. so yesterday she did have to have a picc line inserted into her upper left arm, kind of like an IV, to give the chemo. she is down in the play room now and had spent most of the day in the school room learning about coral reefs and the continents. as long as she does not have bad side effects she will be able to go home next week after her bmt appointment with her transplant docs. only time will tell how this will effect her, one thing i know is it will work. it has to
