Sunday was a rare event in Deb's treatment...a day off! First one in a month! All Deb wanted to do was sleep and rest. That's just what she did.
Monday was back to the clinic getting lots of labs. Many tubes of pure blood were needed. Deb's right arm, the one without the PIC line installed, would not cooperate. The nurse finally felt so bad sticking Deb repeatedly, she asked if she could call in David, the pro at getting needles in impossible veins. So, with Deb's OK, David was called and in just moments, he had filled ten tubes of blood. Deb felt nothing! David has been a phlebotomist for over thirty years! We are so grateful for his skill.
Tomorrow begins the chemo in preparation for the ultimate-the infusion of Amanda's Natural Killer Cells on Oct 4th. That makes tomorrow day -9 on the countdown to Oct 4th. See previous posts from last week for the timeline.
Tonight is one infuser, then back in clinic at 9 am.
Blessings!
All I can say, is you guys are amazing. I cannot believe what Deb has endured. I am sending loving kind thoughts your way.
