Evening!

Got a call from the cancer center today...I guess Jessi's liver is acting up. Not really sure what is going on. They wanted her to get in and have some more blood drawn so that they could do different tests on it.. So we will wait and see. They told her not to take her one Monday chemo pill since that is the one that is toxic to the liver. That is also the same chemo that they put in her spine... Must be lovely stuff. She is still feeling super tired it seems too so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with that to. Well I will let you all go. I will let you all know if I find anything else out. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,

Well we went and Jess's blood drawn yesterday...She ended up being pretty tired and we really didn't do much in town so I was thinking that her blood count might be low. I thought that we might hear from the doc today but we didn't so I think that her blood is high enough to be okay but low enough that it is affecting her. So I guess that we will just keep plugging along as long as we don't hear anything. I got her next appointment set up for November 15th...We will have a long day over in Medford but we will get it all done in one day over there. I'm taking the day off to take Jess. It seems to make her happy to have Mom with her and to tell you the truth I hate her going without me. I just feel better being with her. So she will have the blood drawn and doc visit plus IV chemo and the horrible spinal.. Yuk! So I will let you all go. Thanks so much for checking in and please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't been on lately...Just been busy and not taking the time to get on here and write... Jess hasn't been feeling to hot lately. Not really sure what is going on but of course I worry about it. Her blood was at a 2 point last Monday so that might be the problem too. She woke up Sunday with chest pains which last time ended up being her gall bladder so Pat ran down her medicine which was still at our house. It seemed to help her and she hasn't complained since. But she came over today and she seemed kinda cranky and moody but she said that she didn't sleep well last night so that might be it. Tomorrow she said that she has to go in for a blood test so I'm thinking since her blood was low last Monday that they are doing a checkup on it. So we will see if they find anything... I also called the doctor in Medford today to request a doctor and hospital for her next spinal on the 15th. She is going through enough already so if this makes her feel better then I will try my damnedest

Hi All,

Well Jess has been having it rough after this last session... She really was tired yesterday and slept off and on all day. Her back is hurting her and I think that she is tired mentally. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. I was with her today and she just had that look. Mother's know these things.. I don't like it but I really don't know exactly what to do. She just has been through so much and these spinals are what are dragging her down emotionally I know it. If she just had the pills and IV chemo I'm sure that she could handle this. I guess that I better just straighten my shoulders and get tough. I have to be there for her sooo.. I need to figure out what to do. Well I'd better get going. I'm super tired but we have a four day weekend so I'm pretty happy. I feel like I need it. I will let you all know how Jess is and please keep her in your prayers. Thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Good Evening everyone!!

Just a quick note to let you know that Jess had the everything day today :( Her blood counts were a little lower than what she has been running but the doctor says that they are still high enough that we don't have to do anything as of yet.. Her IV chemo went well and then she had her spinal chemo too. It was a little rough and the doctor actually hit a nerve in her back that she felt down her leg :( When he was done she usually turns over and lays on her back for over an hour to let the hole close up in her spine so that nothing leaks out and that keeps her from getting a headache too. But she immediately got a headache today and then kept it off and on until she got here. I don't know why that happened but I gave her lots of fluids, caffeine (which is suppose to help with headaches) and a good dinner hoping that that would help her. So hopefully it subsides by tomorrow.. It is bad enough that she has to go through this and I hate to see her in pain too. I know that I have told you all this before but it bugs me so much... She had actually lost a little weight again so she was super happy about that at least.. Well I'm off for now.. 3:40 am comes awful soon.. Thanks so much for checking in.. I know that it has been a long haul. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,

Sorry about that first Oct 17th...I somehow hit the enter button and it published nothing.. lol Well anyways tomorrow is D day... I can sure tell that Jess is dreading it. I know that I would sure be.. It is so hard on her mentally... So all I can do is pray that everything goes as smooth as it can go.. Her and Pat are leaving around 6:30 in the morning so they will end up having a long day.. She sure has been blah and tired lately..Ive tried asking her what is up but Jess has always been one to keep everything in... I just hate to see her like this.. I think that she is thinking about the spinal and just doesn't feel good without taking the steroids.. I wish that she would just take a few to just keep her energy level up and give her some get up and go. So please keep her in your prayers and I will let you all know how everything goes tomorrow. Thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi
