Lily’s Leukemia battle

I’ve had a stiff back for 2 days—this should put it into perspective—Lily’s battle with Leukemia.

She relapsed after years of having her cancer under control and was doing the normal activities of teen-agers.  I’ve been following her grandmother and mother for years on blogs and Facebook.  Here’s what Larissa (m0m) wrote as Lily took her last med in this round.

In no particular order—

2 years of treatment
20 doses of Vincristine
15 doses of 6TG
15 spinal taps with Methotrexate
20 doses of ARA-C
2 doses Intermediate PO Methotrexate
2 doses of Pegaspagase (discontinued due to anaphylaxis shock)
9 doses of cyclophosphamide
2 doses mitoxantrone (big blue)
6 doses Erwinia (discontinued—blood clots)
36 hrs high dose Methotrexate
9 doses Etoposide
84 days Blincyto
56 doses of PO Methotrexate
415 doses of 6MP
170 days Dexamethasone

And with one gulp she is done!
