Last day before start of chemo
Monday we were talking about getting out and enjoying Tuesday for the last day before chemo. Unfortunately, we spent the afternoon at the doctors office instead. I don't think my tumors enjoyed being radioactive! I spiked a temperature at 6 pm, at 2 am, at 8 am and again at 11am. Crap! I didn't have anymore energy left after that! I called the doctor to see what they thought, for peace of mind mostly. They had me come in for blood work and to see the nurse practitioner. The only blood work that came back worrisome was my hematocrit at 24 and my hemoglobin at 8. This is down from 29/9 from the day before. Tomorrow we will recheck it and decide on whether or not to transfuse some blood. I almost hope they do.....this may give me more energy. PET scan results should come back tomorrow as well. Big day for the Curro house! Keep us in your prayers.

ReplyDeleteHey girl! So glad you had a good holiday with your family. Can't wait to see your new "do."
ReplyDeleteWe are all pulling (and praying) for you. Hope your first chemo goes ok and that your PET scan results show what you hope. If you are up for a little time out and about on Saturday, I think I will be available. Maybe we could go get coffee or lunch. Kandy
Praying for you today!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your calls today with such wonderful news-Clean pet scan is the most heavenly blessing we could ask for. Now to take care of those stupid balls in your liver and road to recovery. Can't wait to see you next tuesday, weather permitting and a clean slate for the ability to extend my personal time for as needed for this visit. I have 120 days to use up for 12 months so will need to break up some of the visits to help you but we will work what is best for you. Of course we could win the lotto and not have to work anymore and then no worries about anything any more because I would definitely RETIRE!!!!!!!!!!! Talk to you tomorrow to see your progress. God is on your and our side. challenges just make us stronger and make so many little things so rediculus when life can throw so much more at us. Love you all so much it overwhelms me each day. I am so grateful for such caring friends that we have all had for support and I could never be more grateful for you to have found such a wonderful and caring husband, I thank God each day what a great choice he gave you. I have found that I don't often praise him enough and love him, as if he were my own child, thanks, John. I love all my children and can't praise them enough for the way they have been there for their sister and family. Love to all, Mom and Dad
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap Auntie can write! Well the allergies are kicking my but so when I got the news about the scan, the tears of joy screwed up my allergies more--now I gotta read this note from the auntie I love to the cousins love and now I gotta fight back the happy tears again. I think I will take another allergiy plll, say a "what I am thankful for" prayer, and go to bed!
ReplyDeleteenough sillyness--Cyn I know you will feel better after the transfusion! Those tumors in your liver are history!!! I am so grateful and I know that full recovery is right around the corner. I am planning to come help at spring break --one week for sure--more if needed--then this summer too. I'm there for you, Cyn. Love you
