Today was chemo day in Georgia. First on the docket was accessing the port in Deb's upper chest wall. It has a tube that allows IV's and shots to been placed into Deb's body without wearing out her veins. Can you imagine what your arm would look like if it had multiple IVs and shots each day?
After the access, four tubes of blood samples were pulled. When the results were available, Dr York came in and checked Deb over. He gave her approval for one chemo, but not the bad-boy we were expecting. Deb's white blood count was too low to safely give her that one. We try again next Tuesday.
Deb's been coughing, blowing, and feverish since Saturday. That also means lonely since she was not able to have company. What's the worst thing you can do to Deb? Leave her alone! Which is unfortunately how she spends most of her life.

ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
ReplyDeleteWell this is a switch. You are in PTC and I am in Arkansas.
Neither of us is in Kansas anymore!
Stay in the Sun Room and watch the "critters" and get better.
Love to a Friend,
