Her chemotherapy two weeks ago took her white-blood count to zero; she is now waiting for her body to begin manufacturing stem cells, which the doctors plan to harvest and transplant. As of her appointment yesterday, when she had been hoping to see some progress, nothing had happened, and her discouragement was apparent in the brief CaringBridge journal entry she posted.
Today, I think, is Day 15 post-chemo. By Day 18 her cells would ideally have begun to show signs of regeneration. If you're of a mind, and particularly if you have something onerous to do today, please consider offering your sacrifices for Beth, her stem cells, and her spirits.
