So Sally was admitted this afternoon to Memorial Southwest for hydration and to start on chemotherapy tomorrow. We are hopeful that this will result in some improvement. Sally deserves that!

Chemotherapy
Sorry to have been silent for a few days, but things have not been going well. After the EGD endoscopy, Sally had a good day on Friday but since then, everything has been downhill. She has not been able to eat or drink much and has felt miserable. We went to see the oncologist today who felt that the time has come to offer chemotherapy to Sally and furthermore to hospitalize her since she is dehydrated. She has lost about 8 pounds in the past week and is clearly very dry and weak. She has been nauseated, vomiting and miserable in spite of the Nexium and other meds. One of the biopsies of the stomach showed breast cancer in the wall of the stomach.
