Things are looking better
We have had 3 or 4 pretty good days. Pain is a lot better. Have been taking the 3 hour (oxycodone)pill only a couple of times a day. Maybe the patch is working. Energy is still down. Have not got in any walking for a long time. The rash is mostly gone. Still have some itching, mostly at night. The redness is practally gone. Today was a very good day. We didn't know if they would administer the chemo until after the blood test. Were very surprised to find the platlets count was up to 297000. Which is very good So we had the chemo. Another exciting daywating for the medicine to drip in. 7 hours. I could up and go walking around but Jody was tied down to the drip tubes. We got there at 8:30 and left at about 4:30. Tomorrow we get to go back again for some kind of shot to help keep the platlets count up Then nothing until next thursday.

I have been trying to post a comment but am unsuccessful - must be my lack of techically expertise! Give her a hug for me please Glenn. Hope you are doing well as it is just as hard on a caregiver as it is the patient!
