We have a pattern

It seems that there is a pattern with each cycle of chemotherapy. Sally feels well before, during and for the first couple of days after chemo, but on the third day she starts to feel less well in a nondescript way. So the chemo was on Wednesday last week and on Saturday she felt less hungry and maybe a little queasy. This continued on Sunday when she took some Zofran for nausea. She also has had some diarrhea with this. This morning she feels better and we expect she will continue to improve until the next chemo on Jan 27. That will make 4 cycles of the Taxotere. We will be talking with Dr. Conlon soon (probably this week at the check of her blood counts) to see if we can determine what the plan is after that. I'll let you know.

  1. So sorry the pattern has to include some less than ideal days with quesiness. But at least with a pattern you know what to expect. So glad things are on improving now! Thanks again for keeping us all posted. Love to you both!
