Totally Crazy Day

We thought we had all the medical appts today all in order..... Isn't that always the time when everything goes crazy?

Preston and colton started their day extra early with an orthodontist appt.

Then they met me at my 1st St appt. So very grateful for a ward friend willing to drive my still mostly wobbly self to my appts.

I met with the PA and my Dr today. So here is the run down after 1.5hrs of appt-
*White count too low.
*Not restarting chemo yet
*New script for lower dose (75mg) for chemo - maxed out at lowest dosing, will start as soon as new script arrives in hopefully less than 2 weeks
*Still swelling in hands, arms and legs. Enough concerns after seeing 3 different drs that concern for lymph nodes or possible blood clot in right arm.
*Unplanned ultrasound for right arm at tail end of all other appts.

At end of my oncology appt, Preston took colton to pediatric appt for med check up. Then waited for me to literally play tag team, hand off @ dr office so he could get back to work and I could meet with our pediatrician out of earshot of colton. So thankful for peds team that takes such care of my kiddos, colton esp, and our family as a whole.

Have to say extra monster big thank you to Preston for staying with us through appts vs being at a work event where he was also needed. Another monster thank you to my sweet friend for being patient and giving up most of her day to help get me everywhere planned and unplanned today.

Will make sure to send updates soon about imaging. Thanx for sticking things out with us!
