Not all roses are red , but they all have thorns

Over the weekend Jody was in a lot of pain and discomfort from the fluid in her abdomen.  Called first thing Monday morning and they got us an appointment for 12:15 at the hospital.  They removed 3.3 liters of fluid this time.  Made her feel better in some way, left her with a different pain for a day or so.  More pain pills.  Doing much better now.

Tues we went in for lab work.  took blood to have test.  That only takes a short time to get results.  Not as good as I had hoped.  Platelets were way down (48000).  The 19-9 test was up to 49, but they said this happens.  They did go ahead and do chemo.  Got out of the center about 4:45.  Home at about 5:15 then we both had a good nap.  Especially Jody.  That is very tiring to set there all day waiting for the medicine to drip in.  She did get two short in her arms before we left.  Now we need to go back today (Wednesday) for another shot.  We go back in a week for more lab work, but no chemo.  Then on April 3rd More lab work, see the Doctor, then do chemo. 

Her weight is down and the food doesn't taste all that good.  Have got her drinking a nutrition shake now. Maybe that will help.

That is about it for an update.  Vicki and Sarah were here Sunday and Monday.  Good to have them here.  Ron will be here this weekend.  That will be good.
