It's Been a Rough Couple of Days

It's really been tough the last three days for Nanc. The neuropathy seems to have rocketed to a whole new level. So much so that we called the center today and talked with the Dr. on call. He prescribed Neurontin for the pain.

Did I not mention that it's very painful? And then, to top it all off, she is schedule for a treatment tomorrow and has had a zero break this time around. So, we have a call into Leuchter's office for an evaluation before we start the chemo tomorrow. The nurse we talked with today said it's not unusual to postpone due to problems like this. I don't want to imagine what pouring more Taxol into her tummy would do to her condition. Ouch...

Nanc is threatening to go on strike if it doesn't get any better.

My oldest sister Candy has been here since Saturday and has been a huge help with cooking, cleaning, dishes, walking the dogs, etc., etc., etc. She gets grilled skirt steak and fresh white corn on the cob for dinner tonight, just for the asking.

That's about all the news that's fit to print. It's cooled down today to 107. A break from yesterday's 108...

I'll bring you updates on the chemo, etc. tomorrow.
