This week was a tough week for Nancy with a lot of ups and downs. During the Holidays she caught a cold and did not feel well all week. Fatigue plus the cold made her feel miserable.
To make matters worse on Wednesday she had chest pain similar to the one she gets from the shot that stimulates the bone marrow. Only this time it felt worse and and was rare to be in the third week after chemo.
The oncologist told her to go to the ER and so we spent from 9:00 pm to 5:00 am the next morning in the emergency room. The EKG, MRI tests and other scans were normal and the conclusion was the bone marrow shot just lasted longer than normal. So it was a long night but good news.
She started feeling a little better Thursday and was fearful that the doctor may delay chemo #5. However on Friday she was feeling better was given the green light to get the chemo. The best news we received was the tumor is almost completely gone.
Friday night she met with some friends and went to dinner. Saturday we saw our daughter's family with the twins and Sunday to grocery. So, five of six treatments are finished. She has to meet with the surgeon over the next few weeks to discuss the next steps.
We continue receive prayers and best wishes from our friends and family....all is appreciated. Thanks to all.
