PBMT - Day 111
Both Papa & Mama have been trying hard to come up something to discuss with our doctors next week regarding Adrian's most recent CT Scan & VMA/HVA results. While we were doing the digging in the web & emails, we came across a urine marker guidelines provided by MSKCC for NB Patients. According to the list, patients must abstain from various food such as bananas, eggplants... and any food containing vanilla! We then realized the elevated VMA/HVA scores might be attributed to the fact that Adrian has started to drink milk after the transplant in Dec 07. The Pediasure that he's been drinking has vanilla flavour. It should be avoided 48 hours prior to urine collection. Surprised we were not given any guidelines at QM regarding this urine test but will definitely mention it to the doctor tomorrow.
