Tita’s white blood count drops so low she has to reduce her chemo infusions to every other week. Zarxio injections and immunotherapy help keep it in a healthy range.
The new schedule extends her treatments through May, leaving her mentally drained. Always perceived as strong and optimistic, it’s tough to be in tears. Empathy from her doctor is a huge help.
Although the lump is shrinking, it's still cancerous, so a double mastectomy is the plan. Tita remains positive, grateful for her support system, faith, and otherwise great life.
