She received her last chemo treatment for this round via her Lumbar Puncture yesterday at about noon. She should be getting the results about the LP in the next few days. Then they will do another biopsy on the 18th to see about the progress of the chemo killing the leukemia cells.
She has been mostly fatigued and sleeping a lot because of the meds. She has been suffering from oral mucositis and esophagitis, which is an inflammation of the tissue in the mouth and throat, that is making it very hard for her to eat and swallow liquids. She has been treating that with a saline swish and a oral medicated mouthwash that helps with the sores and inflammation.
Again, her charitable fund is with FirstTech Credit Union and is being facilitated by her mother Diane. If you wish to donate to her, please make the checks out to Jenene Philips and you can send them to either 1392 SE 64th Court Hillsboro, OR 97123 or 3543 SE Belmont St, Portland OR 97214. Or you may donate via credit or debit card at http://jenenephilips.tumblr.com/
She wants to thank all of those who have donated to her either in visits, gifts, money or just texts, calls, emails, Facebook posts and general great thoughts and concern for her. She is very blessed to have so many care for her.
