Some Results

Talking with the gastroenterologist, it is pretty clear that Sally has GERD that has given her the stricture in the lower esophagus (now dilated) and the inflammation in the stomach and esophagus. She started today on Nexium and is to remain on it continuously. I don't know if it is coincidence or not, but about 3 hours after the Nexium, she said she was hungry for steak! So she fried up a steak and had it for breakfast. She then had a banana and a whole avocado. This may be more food than she has had in any full day for quite a while. So we are hopeful that much of her nausea may really be better on this therapy, but we will have to see how things are later and tomorrow.

We go back to see the oncologist on Tuesday and check everything and discuss future plans for therapy.
