Today, the scale in the chemo room said Janette is only 4 lbs under her original weight.
The chemo nurses decided Janette is still too nauseous. She's not vomiting but thought of food is yucky and she can't make herself eat much. The nurses say this is still nausea and they prescribed stronger nausea fighting medication to help. Hopefully, this will allow her to eat and drink more and be more comfortable.
As always, we are so appreciative of the care and positive friendliness of all the staff at the Gulfcoast Cancer Institute in Largo.
Janette has minor surgery tomorrow to implant a port for chemotherapy. I'm sorry I forgot to tell y'all about it sooner. We learned today her blood levels are still good and the surgery is on, outpatient at Morton Plant hospital with it's fantastic views of Clearwater Bay.
And for the family who are reading, Aunt Eliska has two checkups this week, eyes and general health. She is serious about watching her diet and salt intake and taking good care of herself. She's even trying some of the health food mixtures I've ordered for Janette. All of you who know her know this is amazing and a real commitment to healing.
