Still slow to recover from last chemo

Sally was starting to feel and eat a little better, but because she felt things were not going as we expected, we went to see Dr. Conlon on Monday. He wants to get some scans and is thinking that the liver is enlarged. The scan was scheduled for today, but both of us have come down with some sort of intestinal malady--mostly nausea and pain with a little fever. Mine started yesterday morning and Sally started to feel the same way last night. So we have cancelled the scan for now. In addition, Sally's ankle swelling is getting worse. Lasix did nothing for her. Apparently this is likely a problem due to her chemotherapy.
I wish I could be more upbeat, but we both feel so lousy right now that it's hard. I'm feeling a little better this morning and I hope that Sally will start to recover from this intestinal virus soon. For now we are hunkering down.

  1. So sorry to hear you both are suffering today. This cloudy, drab weather doesn't help. But it must be nice to look at and see all that's been accomplished in the garden.
    Hang in there!
