So...We Wait

Abby's ALT level was about 1000, normal is less than 200. So, it's high. As the last post stated, though, the ALT value can be quite high and not indicate a decline in liver function. My conversation with the oncologist today resulted in a decision to wait two weeks and test Abby's enzyme levels again either next week or the week after to make sure that they are coming down. If they are coming down, then we consider restarting the chemo in conjunction with the liver protective drug.

So...we wait. Abby's lesson for me through all this appears to be - let go. And then let go some more. And then let go some more. Let go of Abby - we can't hold her here anyway. Let go of the test values. Let go of agonizing over decisions made or unmade. Let go of always trying to do the right thing. Let go of worry. Let go of expectations. Let go of progress. Let go of stability. Just let go.

And then do it again.
