We had our second chemo today. Coffee was exhausted, we waited a long time. Last week it was an I.V. This week it was a pill next week , next week an I.V. It changes to a different kind each week for four weeks, then a rest , then it starts over.
The doctor said she is in “strong partial remission”. She has one lymph node that had minor swelling yet. They said that was very good for one week. They are very hopeful. It would be nice if they explained each chemo session. They told me the names, the kind, but not what each session entails…..we kind of play it by ear. I assumed they would be the same but not. So anyway they couldn’t get her pill down her today, good thing I had brought treats and I had a slice of liver sausage for her, she took her meds in that even from the stranger. The rule is you never turn down LSD. ( liver sausage delight)
We have been mixing pedialyte with her water for electrolytes. The prednisone makes her thirsty and she drinks and pees a lot.
I am over the devastating diagnosis and now we look for small good signs in the middle of the bad cancer circle and we are looking into alternative treatments, holistically, either with chemo or after.
Alkaline diet, vitamin c and d12, electrolytes, melatonin and acupuncture.
Thank you for the good thoughts and prayers about Coffee
Going to chemo. Creamy goes along for morale support.
