Nothing good to report. Last Tuesday we has a blood test and the platelets were way down. 18000. Did not have chemo scheduled that day, but with the platelets being so low they would not have given chemo any way. Jody has and in very tired and weak. When we talked to the Doctor yesterday with her being so weak and etc so no chemo.
We do go to the hospital today to have fluid removed from her abdomen and possible the lungs. Maybe this will help with the pain. She is needing to take oxycodone quite regular now.
With Jody being so weak and just feeling terrible the Doctor said it was either the chemo or the cancer that is causing it. By being off chemo for 3 weeks and no improvement in her well being the chemo is just not working. We do go in Monday and Tuesday for a CT scan and to see the Doctor. I think that will give us a real idea what is happening.
I did talk to hospice and was told a long as we were getting chemo they could not work with us We may not be getting chemo any more anyway. We will see. Some ladies from church will start coming in a couple of times a week so that I can get out to buy groceries and do other things that must be done. I just don't want to leave Jody for much more than going to the mail box. Roger and Latisha mowed the lawn this week that helped and I was able to bet to Walmart.
It is do hard on Jody not being able to be up and do things, we will keep trying.
Roger and Latisha was here this past weekend . Vicki and family for Easter. Sherri will come on the 12th. Ron is coming on the 27th and Marcine ,Jody's sister after that.
This is rambling, but that is me.
