The Harrison Kauffman Family
Today was Madison's first day of Chemo. She is exhausted but did great. She has 4 more days like this for her first round to be complete. (5 days on, 2 weeks off).
Jenny and Jim met with Madison's team today to go over the game plan of what Madison's treatment will look like starting out-
Madison will undergo 5 cycles of chemotherapy.
After that she will have a stem cell/bone marrow transplant-possibly two. Each transplant requires a 30-day inpatient hospital stay.
Next, they will do radiation.
The last phase is immunotherapy treatment. Of course, the doctors will be re-testing and monitoring closely to see if a different course is needed. The overall plan is expected to last just under 2 years.
We will continue to update how Madison and family are doing with the treatments.
Thank you all for the continuous prayers and support as we start Madison's fight!
