Good News/Bad News

I'll start with the bad news. We went in for my chemo appointment and after meeting with the doctor, he decided I should not have chemo today. The doctor said I am frail (I lost quite a bit of weight last week), exhausted, my bili is too high, and the chemo from last week is still in my system. Dr. Abrass said that I am to eat, eat, eat! He suggested eating hot fudge sundaes all day, but I don't think I my body could take that right now. I will go in Monday for bloodwork and then talk to Dr. Abrass on Tuesday to make a plan for my next chemo.


The good news is that I was really relieved not to have to go through that so soon, even though I know I need it. The whole morning I was dreading the appointment, so it was a blessing to me to have a bit longer to recuperate. I think I'll be able to handle it better if I can get a little more of my strength back. Then we were in Reno with nothing scheduled, so we went to my mom's house. David ran some errands and two of my sisters and a niece and nephew came to visit. It was so nice to be out of my house and to see my family and to be awake long enough to enjoy seeing them.


Another good thing for me was that two dear friends organized a little cleaning spree at my house today. Now my house is absolutely sparkling! I think I rest better in a clean house, so this is just what I needed. Also, we have received many delicious meals and we have felt the countless prayers. Thank you all for thinking of us. We so appreciate your love and kindness!
