We just got home from Medford (6 pm). Jess had another case of bad hives this morning so I called up the doctors and they wanted to see her. They were sorry that we had to drive over there, but they wanted to make sure that she was okay. Jess and I left about 1030. It wasn't too bad. I just had to go into 4 wheel drive up the hills. They figured that it was the chemo that she has by getting 3 shots. It is actually a really nasty strong chemo that they used to give in the IV but it had so many side effects they switched it to shot form. I sure hope it is it is working if it is that bad ass! The first time Jess had it was when she was up at OHSU and she was on all of the steroids, so it took care of the side effects, but since she hasn't been on them she got the hives (thank goodness that is the only side effect she has). They put her back on a medium dose of steroids for about a week, along with Benadryl until the chemo is out of her system. She is also really tired and worn out and her appetite is not real good so she always has me worried. Next Tuesday we have IV chemo and the spinal again, so I hope she can get enough rest this weekend to be ready to go. We are going to spend the night next week so it is easier on her. I am going to try to work on Mon, Thurs, and Fri since I am pretty sure I am completely out of sick leave...it is going to be a tiring week. I hope that you all have a safe and happy New Years! Love you all and thanks so much for your support.
God Bless,
