Hi All,

Long day in Medford today... Jess had her 22nd spinal and IV chemo. We left here at 9am and we got back home about 7pm tonight. Of course all the nurses and doctors were happy to see her. It has been a few weeks since we were last there. They were excited about her hair growing and she has also lost some weight :) She is looking so good. She is finally starting to get over that darn cold. I had called up the hospital the day before to confirm her time and the one lady said to be there around 11 am... lol The one nurse did complain and say that we should of been there at 9:30 just like I talked about on the last post. They are just trying to stagger the patients in but this way I got to go to my dentist appt. So I was happy. We then headed over to the cancer center where we went and seen her doctor (who wasn't there today but came to see Jess) lol She said that Jess's liver counts were going up and down but her blood counts were staying up good so they are going to keep an eye on things and she still has to go in every Monday to do blood for that. She said that they had gotten an abnormal result back on her last spinal fluid but she wasn't alarmed and told us not to be so they took fluid again today to double check things so of course it still makes me nervous until I hear from her again. We then headed to the chemo room and the IV chemo went smoothly, so we were in and out of there quickly. Jess was pretty wore out after the long day so I will let you all know tomorrow how she is feeling. Thanks so much for checking in and please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi
