Cheryl's chemotherapy session at the Lewis Cancer Center went well. Everything went according to plan, even though it was a little behind on the time. She began with an anti-nausea drug and then went on to receive Doxil and Gemzar. Her CBC (complete blood count) results were good and should help make any blood related problems such as low white or red cell counts from occurring too soon.
While there, she had the nurse/PA and doctor check out the wound from her pleurodesis procedure two weeks ago that has not finished healing. They consulted with Dr. Jones, the thoracic surgeon for his recommendation. They then cleaned it up a bit and prescribed an antibiotic and offered suggestions on care. If it hasn't finished healing by next week, Cheryl will need to go back to Dr. Jones for follow-up.
She returns for her next session of Gemzar next Thursday and at that appointment should receive her CA125 results from today.
You are in our prayers, as always. You are both so strong and have the support of wonderful friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you on Saturday when we were in Savannah at the Herman Cain presidential bid announcement. He's completely healed of stage 4 cancer. Will you run for president when you're healed too? :-)Praying for you!
