Janette has been doing great since she had a liter of fluids on Monday. In many ways, she's been better than I've seen since I've been here. She's still often tired, but everything else is improving. Well, her voice is getting worse, but that is probably a side effect of all the treatments.
We saw the oncologist today. He's lowering her chemo dose slightly but staying with the same formula. The protocol is every 21 days, so the next chemo session is July 8th. We also all decided for Janette to get fluids twice per week, each Monday and Thursday. Even though she's now drinking at least 40oz of water a day, it doesn't seem to be enough. Before our very eyes, she shrivels up like a raisin. No joking, we see the difference day to day and even as the day progresses. Fluids and electrolytes via her port seems to be the easiest solution.
Aunt Judy, Jill and Casey will be visiting for a few days. They're driving from Mississippi and will get in tomorrow night. This means no more blog entries for a while...again.
Next appts: Fluids, Thursday, Monday; radiation doctor follow-up, Wednesday; chemo and oncologist, next Wednesday.
