Looks to me as though my writings are becoming rather sparse. There is probably a reason for that.
Tuesday was my 25th radiation treatment (of 40 scheduled) and the next 15 are with a better fitting mask (tighter) so that the radiation can be pinpointed more accurately. (I do not know if 'more deadly' is proper English.) Tuesday I have added another pain-pillar medication to 'Help Me Make It Through The Night'. Morphine via patch. I think that is were the term 'Who Cares' might have been termed.
Dennis took me Wednesday to the cancer center, 'ACE' Matelske (I have always wondered when those two words would finally fit together and have real meaning in my life - and now I know!) took me today. Carol is taking me tomorrow.
...and that will be the end of week 6.
I have found it too difficult to go alone anymore. So if anyone would like to chauffeur me one day - let Carol know and she will schedule it up. That way she isn't 'stuck' going everyday.
Last Chemo day is Monday. Bob F. will be host for the day. Nim us taking me on Wednesday and Dennis on Thursday.
Overall - I am hanging in fairly well. With the exceptions of I can't talk, eat, drink, have a extra large mucous buildup that I am having trouble pumping away. The drugs must be helping me - anyhow - I keep taking them.
The best thinks are, of course, your prayers, wishes, e-mails, cards and COMMENTS. Don't stop now - even if I may miss a day or two of 'blogging'.
It's all downhill now - I hope. Should be getting some kind of a prognostication soon.
Sounds like things are still going pretty well. Morphine patch? We should all be so lucky!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Tuesday is open. I will call Carol in the morning and get it penciled in!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteThe end is in sight (with really powerful binoculars!) I know you are going through a VERY hard time. Hang in there. It'll be worth it.
Patti and Tom
Yaay -- Week 6 down! Hope you have a good b-day; it goes without saying no reminders needed to take things in moderation. Stay tough.
