Forgot to update. Lauren was discharged from the RAH (ADL) last Friday. Spent the weekend with Molly, one of her favourite Golden Retrievers. Dog hair on her clothes proves it!!
Radiotherapy for the tumour on her spine continues this week as does the third dose of Inotuzumab this Thursday - final dose ....hopefully forever. Thanks to Pfizer for providing this drug which has achieved what was needed at this time.
We head back to Melbourne (RCH) on 21st Jan to complete the CAR-T Therapy process (planned) at this stage. Should be over there for a month. If it goes to plan, Lauren will be the first person in Australia to go through this treatment, locally. A paper released last week in the USA with kids shows out of 53 treated with CAR-T Therapy, 94% have achieved complete remission!!! Thank goodness for research and continued progress. The eventual end of chemotherapy only gets closer as we progress further.
Funny how personnel at the RAH even make comment about how professional the team is in Melbourne (RCH) when they deal with them!! That's certainly been our experience and why we're happy to go over as often as we need to.
