March 11, 2014: Nanette had another Avastin infusion last Thursday at Huntsman Center in Day Break. The influsion went well but when the lab work came back, her platelets were low. They were not in the "danger" zone but in the "concerned" zone. The doctors at Huntsman in Salt Lake told her to delay starting the chemo pill regimen which was scheduled for the next day. She was scheduled for more lab work on Monday and the report came back this afternoon that the platelet count had, in fact, gone back up to an acceptable count. She was told she could start the chemo pills tonight or tomorrow. No one was overly concerned about the drop but until this week, her lab results have been good. It was just a small hiccup in the process. She is still experiencing fatigue, usually in the evenings but she is doing well otherwise. Her hair is "slowly" growing back but it is a work in progress. One of our church leaders, Elder Richard J. Maynes said, "As we temporarily endure the challenges we can solve and as we continue to endure the challenges we cannot solve, it is important to remember that the spiritual strength we develop will help us successfully endure all the challenges we face in this life." Your continued love and concern for Nanette and the Lord's tender mercies are helping her endure this long journey. She remains hopeful and grateful.
