So we had some news that her Leukemia did not go into remission; as there were leukemia residuals in her Bone Marrow; and that she will need another round of chemo therapy. Because of the restart of chemo she will be here longer; until at least April 4th.
She is beginning a new type of regiment that started last night; Friday (3/4). She will be doing a 22 hour round of Methotrexate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methotrexate) until 6am Saturday (3/5) morning. Then she will be starting Cytarabine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytarabine) every twelve hours for 2 days. Then she will be getting the Metrotrexate via intrathecal on March 11th at noon.
Her Doctor (Dr. Kovacsovics - http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/health/services/providers/kovacsov.cfm) has decided to stay on her case. She is determined to beat this and she is keeping her spirits up.
As we stated in the last update, we have started a Charitable Fund for at FirstTech Credit Union. You can make checks out to either her or the Jenene Philips and send it to her via two addresses: - 1392 SE 64th Court, Hillsboro, OR 97123Or - 3543 SE Belmont St, Portland OR 97214We will take them and deposit it into her fund.
Her Brother-In-Law Derek Bronson has set up a website with a PayPal account so that you can donate to her with a credit or debit card: http://jenenephilips.tumblr.com/
Keep visiting or sending her texts, calls or emails (jmphilips503@hotmail.com). She has really appreciated all the visitors.
Thanks
