Oncologist came in, sat down, and chilled for a few minutes. What a difference from the first few days! I think he finally gets us. He looked through mom's blood work on his phone and was very pleased with all all all of her numbers. He almost said he was optimistic, but caught himself and smiled. We said, "cautiously optimistic?" He nodded then. We asked about what kind of side effects Mom might start having in the next few days. He said that since she came in to the hospital before she was symptomatic, her side effects might be minimal. Mom's preparing herself anyway, just in case. She had her EKG shortly afterward, and it was normal.

Oncologist hasn't been in yet today. We'll update afterward, if there's news.
Chemo treatment last night went without a hitch. No reactions. The nurse did say today that it might take a few days, but she will definitely have some rough days. There's no way to tell which effects she'll feel until they happen. For 20 days (19 now), she'll start the treatment every evening at about the same time, which is between 6 and 7 pm. IV pole name today is Elvis. Masks might be required during visits soon. Visitors might be limited at some point, too, but we haven't been told that yet.
She's still quilting and hanging out and feeling great. Really loving the cards, texts, calls, and visits!
We caught Lewis rubbing her feet this morning.
Oh my heart sings with joy to see these photos! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteCharlotte you are so strong and determined and have so many prayer warriors that I feel we will witness a miracle. I totally feel Gods mighty presence. So keep the positive spirit, keep active and follow the docs orders. You’ve got this!’! Love you my sweet friend🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕. Oh this is Diane
So many prayers answered. More prayers to come. A prayer answered is not a coincidence. I do see everyday miracles in this and I will always remember them.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pictures! So glad you are staying busy and occupied. God is favoring you with his love & grace. Praying the Chemo side affects will be minimal & the next days ahead will go by fast.❤️🙏✝️ Donna N. IV pole name: Ivy Flo
