Morning everyone!
Well Jess and I had a super long night..... Headed over for chemo yesterday and found out that not only are her white cells still low but also her red blood cells were getting super low too!! :( So after chemo at the cancer center, we had to head to the hospital where they actually admitted her and put her in an Oncology room where we stayed until after 11 last night and she received 2 units of blood. So we didn't get home until after 1 am last night. We would of stayed the night but we didn't have anything with us. So it would of been a pain for both of us. But the blood sure made her feel better today. No wonder she has been starting to crash lately. We didn't even think about her reds being low.... We also asked about her chemo pills... Wow, we got a little in trouble from our favorite PA ! (Jess's doctor is on vacation) He told us in no way was she not to take these pills. They were part of the prodical and he wasn't going to get yelled at from Jess's doctor up north... So she has to take them tonight about an hour after dinner. She is supposed to take them the same time every night for some reason. I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. But anyways... She is done with IV chemo for this week and only has the pills and then we have to be back in Medford next Tues for the next round. So hopefully she feels better this week. I will keep you all informed. Thanks again for checking in and please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi Cindi,
ReplyDeleteI'm Mary Ann's sister, Arlene. Just wanted to let you know I read your blogs all the time, and am always interested in how Jessica is doing. Having had chemo and radiation treatments myself for lung cancer, I can relate to some of what is going on. I also had 2 units of blood, and they really do make you feel better.
I never had anywhere near the chemo treatments Jessica has had to endure, so she must be a very strong person to handle all of this. Of course, she is so young yet, so that is in her favor, along with the positive attitude.
I pray thing will start to improve for her. Hang in there!
Best wishes.
Arlene Olsby
