Friday was lab work, meeting with Dr. Bierman, her oncologist, Mary Beth, the case worker, and having the chemo treatment. Dr. Bierman said the lymphnodes were smaller and her blood work looked good! He would continue the same chemo treatment of ABVD.

Melissa was reminded of common sense awareness.....good hand washing and to keep her distance from sick kids! She is very aware of the risk of infection! The next chemo treatments will be March 4th and March 18th. A second Pet Scan and Cat Scan will be March 25th. Keep the prayers going!
Melissa's friend, Meg, did the lab work. The two of them had fun visiting and chit chatting! Melissa's friend, Marnie, stopped by to visit while she was having chemo. Marnie is in her 3rd year of pharmacy school at UNMC. Both of these girls are college friends!

The child life specialist from UNMC met with Melissa briefly. She gave Melissa picture books to read to her students and hands-on materials for a hospital activity center in her classroom. Another fun opportunity for the children to learn!
This morning, Melissa, Steve, and I went to mass in honor of St. Peregrine, the patron saint of cancer. This special mass is celebrated once a month at the Servants of Mary chapel at Marian High School. Melissa and I are both graduates and alums of Marian!
Prayers, Support, and Sunshine.......Life is Good! Thank you!
