It's another QM day today... Originally we were supposed to be back every Tue & Fri but since tomorrow will be a public holiday, we were asked to come back today instead. Adrian is in good shape these days with his hair growing nicely. Mama managed to talk to Dr Chan, the NB Specialist, while he was making the ward rounds at the Day Center. He said the absence of pain from baby's last 3F8 treatment means that his body's immune system has started to come back fighting against the antibodies. In other words, it's not a good sign from the medication perspective; On the other hands, it means baby is slowly recovering and becoming normal since he last had chemo in July. The last 3F8 treatment was supposed to be the last one before the ABMT but because of some urgent cases, Adrian may not be able to start his in early Nov and may have to be postponed for another month. Meanwhile, they'll do another 3F8 on him during the time lag but I doubted if it'd be useful to do it now as it was meant to be AFTER ABMT when his body is weak with no fighting power against the antibodies. We will touch base with the Liver Surgery group on Monday to see the progress. I guess IF Adrian did go for surgery, that might solve the timing issue....
