Sorry that I have not posted in several days. It has been a pretty good weekend for me. I have been more tired than normal but have not had many symptoms other than the tiredness. Yesterday we had a birthday party for Mina at Sylvia and Brent's house. I'll try to post a picture later. It was so nice. Mina had a great time. Many thanks to Sylvia, Brent, Loli, and Rosa for organizing everything. We love you!!
On Saturday, Mayam brought over some of James' chili. It was great! There was SOOOOOO much of it. We barely made a dent. Thank you!
Yesterday Brian was here taking pictures. He had his entire photography set-up. We got to see the shots he took of us the day after Halloween and, of course, he took more. Hopefully we can use one of the new shots for our Christmas card this year. Thank you, Brian!
Also, my parent were here for the weekend. They have been here for each of my treatments. They help us with the girls, help around the house, and most importantly provide moral support. We love you both so much and we could not do it without you! Thank you!
I have a problem with my PICC line. On Saturday afternoon Ray went to flush my line and it would not flush. I went to urgent care and they confirmed that it was clogged but they could not do anything for me there. Today I have to call the department where they put it in to find out how to proceeed. Hopefully they have something that can fix it.
I am on the Neupogen shots again. My WBC (white blood count) was good this last time so the shots need to continue to keeps the level up. Shot #1 (round 2) was last night. That went fine.
So, the latest update from Thursday was that I ONLY have 3 more chemos left to go. Both of my oncologists are in agreement that I am to have 6 total chemos and 17 days of radiation. This is 6 less chemos than I thought I would have to have. What a relief!!!!! My hair is still coming out. I am not sure how much longer I can sustain the immense shedding. I have said that before but it still keeps on coming out yet I still have some that remains. Dr. Sweet was surprised to see that my hair was real and that it had not all fallen out by now. He said that for most people undergoing my drug regimen have no hair left by this point.
The picture that I have posted is one that I took in my yard yesterday. This plant usually only blooms in May/June so the bloom is an unexpected surprise.
