Coffee’s Cancer Battle week 9

Coffee’s Cancer Battle week 9

It’s week nine and nothing is every easy. We have an appointment tomorrow at 10:30 but my sister checked the weather and it’s suppose to be freezing rain. So I called our local clinic to see if Coffee could have chemo here. This week it’s a pill. UW Madison doesn’t do chemo on Fridays. Driving 200 miles in freezing rain doesn’t not sound appealing, but today it is a beautiful day! So I called and UW Madison, had the Oncology Unit call me back. I had a neurologist appointment at 11, the cancer unit said they would take me anytime I could come. So we went right after the neurology appointment. Usually we are prepared, breakfast and lunch prepacked, drinks and paperwork. But we went just started driving. Hi way here we come.

Chemo today was good and fast. Blood count today was 2000. So she got her chemo pill. We had a little trouble getting the pill down her, but a little liver sausage goes a long way. Glands are normal size, cancer still in total remission. They adjusted this chemo because it took her blood count really low last time she had it.

On the way home David called, he’s on his way to the emergency room. He fell and popped his knee, so who knows what I will find when I get home.
