Mimi, Angie and Tina met at Allegiance to see Dr. Axelson today at 11:30am. After the normal check in procedure (weight, blood pressure, blood draw) we were escorted to the room to wait. We got right in and the wait to see Dr. Trimble wasn't too long. Dr. Trimble looked mimi over and was pleased with her progress as far as the skin reaction. It is believed that yes this rash/reaction was from the Dilantin and not the chemotherapy medication. It is possible that the Dilantin and the radiation therapy could cause this same issue but it is not positive. Every case is different. Mimi is only 1 of 2 people that this particular doctor has seen have SJS (Stephens-Johnson Syndrome) in 15 years of practice. Well, mimi is unique isn't she? We will meet with oncology next Wednesday again and see where her treatment plan will go from at that point. No radiation or chemotherapy drugs yet. Also, and obviously, she is no longer on the Dilantin.....
Mimi's outlook is better today and she looks even better today than last night (rash). She always is beautiful to me!
I read something today and shared it with mimi. I told her I was going to put in on this blog so here goes.....
P E R S E V E R E N C E....whether you are two steps behind or a mile ahead, you are still in the game.
Well, thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and cards! Mimi is feeling the healing through your prayers and is enjoying your cards over and over.
