Forgive me that my brain power isn't what it should be; My attempt at this update is because I appreciate your caring and checking in on us.
Unlike last week -Thursday was a go! My white count was back to normal, 3 sticks and my IV was in (not bad), it was looking like it would be smooth sailing. After a long day of being at BI from 10-6pm, a few games of Uno and watching"Paul Blart Mall Cop" we were finally on our way home.
Friday at 2 am I woke up with a killer migraine and began throwing up. (pretty huh?). Which lead to another long day at BI from 9-5p. My stomach was like the paddles of a pin ball machine; if anything, even water hit those paddles up it came instantaneously... (which lead to the phrase "Colleen we might have to admit you"; this we did not let happen) this wonderful analogy lasted until around noon on Saturday, where we were back at BI from 10-5p again. After more IV nausea meds & chemo I was finally able to stomach ice chips, a saltine cracker, and eventually water, even my more daring approach around 6p, soup.
So now it is Sunday. I'm still feeling miserable and being very careful of what I attempt to eat or drink, sleeping a lot and the weekend is over. Hopefully all of the symptoms get better by day.
I will be going in for the very important CT Scan on Saturday June 27; however, we will not be getting the results until Thurs. 7/2.
Our goal for the results: The mass in the thymus gets smaller, but the liver masses do Not change at all!! When we go in on 7/2 we will find out the results and possibly continue the next round of chemo that day.
Thank you for thinking of us!
