Lucy ran a fever for a week with all negative results. So finally, they did bloodwork and found her white blood count was super high, which led us to the cancer diagnosis.
She’s had numerous lumbar punctures and bone marrow tests. She’s on oral chemo daily and weekly chemo at the clinic. The horrible steroids she takes approximately every month for a week causes her to have roid rage with emotional outbursts that she can’t control. It’s very hard on the whole family. Her big sister, Remi who is 10, has started counseling to help her cope better.
Our whole family dynamic has changed. We no longer can enjoy day-to-day things without thinking about germs, side effects, and possible sicknesses that can show up at any given moment. It’s very stressful for all of us.
