Fox News Poster Girl!!
Jan had her fourth infusion session yesterday. This was a session in which she received all three medications and from which she can expect some negative side effects — but as James was quick to point out, it also means that we’re at two down and four to go!!
She slept most of yesterday afternoon after we returned from the infusion center. I think she had worried about the session a lot and not slept well several days before the session. Today she has had a pretty good day. A bit draggy & tired, but feeling OK. I expect this will last through the weekend if the last cycle is a good model.
The pace of hair loss is increasing, but wig, hats, and scarves are at hand when she is ready to venture out. She is comfortable with her appearance in them around family and close friends, but not yet with the general public. We’ll hang close to home for a few days and let her build up her strength and comfort with the head coverings. Fortunately it rained today, and is expected to do so tomorrow as well. Good weather for indoor activities like naps, reading, and taxes.
We love cancer success stories and were heartened today to learn that good friend Bob Adams, also a cancer patient, was declared in remission by MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Bob, if you are reading this, congratulations to you and Connie!! You continue in our thoughts.
