I was hoping to get a post up earlier in the week, but I haven't got much down time lately.
The good news is that we start Chemo in the morning, and we got some new meds that seem to be helping with pain, sleep, and mood. They aren't magic pills, but things are improving. Appetite is still a struggle.
The not so good news, blood levels are down again... so more transfusions on Friday... and she had a minor fall this morning.
Fortunately, I was home and nothing was broken... but we are going to have to be a lot more careful going forward. The doctor said a serious fall or broken bone would be something that she probably couldn't recover from. :(
Yesterday was a good day, Nick and fam came by and hung out for a couple hours. She ate a real dinner and was in good spirits.
With the Chemo, she will feel progressively worse for 5 days and then she will start to recover. It's a 3 week cycle. One week to knock you down, two weeks to recover and then start over.
We have family visiting for the weekend, plus, the blood transfusion should give her a boost to get through this first round.
All for now.
