Good Day all, I know some people have been waiting for an update, sorry this one took so long.
On Thursday, Feb 27th in the afternoon we have an appointment with Cancer Doctor in London – just a talk & review kind of thing, should be home before dinner. And then Friday, Feb 28th at 8:00am Sue has Round Two of Chemo.
All in all, Sue has been doing quite well physically. She hasn’t been “hit hard” by the Chemo – her pain level hasn’t gone above a 3 (of 10) on a single day and most days it’s in the 1 – 2 range.
She’s able to walk around the house and do most things, showers entirely on her own and we’ve gotten outside a few times and gone for short (but increasingly longer) walks.
She’s been reducing pain her meds substantially, completely eliminated one of them, and the other two have been reduced by 30 – 40%.
The thing that’s really bothering her right now is a few days ago she’s begun to lose her hair and she’s very emotional about it. At the rate it’s coming out it will probably be all gone in a week. We’ve gotten her a few head wraps and looked at a few wigs but haven’t picked anything out yet.
Aside from that she’s also feeling sad that she can’t really go out much and will be stuck in the house for the next 3 – 4 months.
She’ll be getting some blood work done this week where they will let her know her white blood cell count so we have a better idea of how vulnerable her immune system is at this point.
Since her next Chemo is this Friday – no one will be able to use the main bathroom til Monday due to the chemicals.
Thanks again everyone for all of your amazing support.
