Labs Update

Things have been kind of crummy still the last few days....totally forgot to post the update about my labs.

They were turned in and ready yesterday. I got a call from the oncology MA to let me know that my #'s had actually tripled in the last week. I guess technically I have had 2 weeks of "rest" and that brought my #'s back up. I am free to attend events and go on outings as I feel up to it.

Yesterday I wasnt doing so hot. Nausea was bad enough to wake me from my attempt at a nap and to force my hand to actually take a zofran tablet (my one go to for this). I was able to use cool air in the car and mostly sitting at the baseball game (preston work family activity) and I was able to take another zofran+cold air blowing for the way home. These things seem so insignificant, but for me they were the only 2 things to keep me from being sick. I am grateful for both (and for a patient, teasing daughter who informed me that she would greatly appreciate if I didnt throw up in the car while she was driving :)

Started chemo last night, so I am back on track for the next 21 days. It will be interesting to see what side effects come with the chemo being separate from the injections. Good to know what comes from each and how to prepare for those.

Currently writing an update about how we got to this point in life again. Realized we never wrote about the whole "how did we find out" thing. Watch for that soon.
