1/25/10 - Update

Well, did not post last week since it was my by week - no chemo! Stacy did take me down for my chemo on Monday and Danny was able to get a physical that he needed. Trip down was fine, we ate lunch at Cracker Barrel which was a real treat (my mouth sores are getting a little better). Saw the doctor and clinical trial nurses who went over my issues, which I still am having some problems with the skin lesion burn from the radiation treatment I had back in Dec. So my doctor gave me a powder to use instead of wet ointment to see if that will work better. I have tried so many things! Went in at 2:15 for my chemo and they could not get my port to work, so had to try thru the vein, which I was lucky and the male nurse got the vein the very first time...thank God! They had to use Heparin to finally get the port to work so must have been a clot blockage of some type and we got out of there at 6:15. So we stopped for supper, still eating a lot of soft foods, but made it home by 10:00 p.m. We were both tired but since Stacy was off this week, she was able to sleep in yesterday. I have my schedule for next month and will need a lot of prayers for the 19th of February - that is when they will be redoing my tests - CT scan, bloodwork, and PET scan, so mark that day for extra special prayers as I know a lot of you pray for me everyday and I believe that is what has helped me thru the trials and tribulations so far.
My chemo dates are Feb 1,8 & 22. Love to all, Janice
