Chemo Treatment 4 - Day 3

-

 It is Thursday June 17th, in the morning. She is still asleep.

Just wanted to give a quick update on how she is doing with this cycle. 

It is about the same as the last one. She has been pretty wiped out since Monday afternoon, energy wise.

Just like the last time, just fatigue and feeling kind of crappy. No nausea or sick feeling, just "blah"..

She finds little pockets of energy every now and then throughout the day, and will start a load of laundry or something small. Other than that, it has been mostly couch & tv time, relaxing and resting.

She had the neuropathy in her hands and feet, off and on, starting Monday evening. It went away yesterday. The cold sensitivity is on its way out, from this treatment, as well.

We will see how she feels when she gets up, I imagine she will start to get a little more energy every day from today on just based on previous experience.

Tomorrow morning we go get the MRI of the liver done.

Monday morning we go get the CT Scan of the abdomen & chest done.

After the CT Scan, we meet with Dr. Paluri to discuss those scans and talk about the path forward. 

Thanks all

Christian's cancer story comes to a close

This is the very hardest one to write. I have written so much on this blog over the past year and a half, just trying to share information with everyone, but now this “cancer story” is coming to a close.    Her story will never come to a close for me. This is not how our story ends. I know her family feels the same way. There was no one like her on this planet, and there never will be. She was a one of a kind, and the love of my life. She was the best person I ever met, and I look forward to seeing her again one day, up in heaven.   Now I will sit in this empty house that she decorated so well, but I am not alone. God is with me, she is still with me in my heart, and I still have our little terrorist of a dog running around here somewhere, so maybe it won’t be too bad.   I knew this was coming for a while, and I have said a few times that I felt like I was prepared, but nothing can prepare you for it, when you realize they are gone and won’t be coming back. 12 years is not enough.   W

It has been almost a week since the last update here. She has had a difficult time, and has shown more signs of decline. There has been high fever every night, very low energy, nausea, abdominal pain, a lot of sleep and no appetite. She took all of the antibiotics that she was prescribed but it did not really change anything. The nausea med (Zofran) has definitely helped, and she has not gotten sick anymore since taking it. We are very thankful for that. We are staying on an 8hr interval with it to stay that way. Since the last post she has also began to have some pretty intense pain in her abdomen. We were no longer able to control it with the natural remedies we have been using, that have worked for the previous month or two. We got a script for some pain medicine. She is taking it on the same 8hr interval as the Zofran and it is managing the pain very well. So pain & nausea are under control for now. She has slept most of the day every day, and has migrated to the bed (instead o
