Sorry for the long gap between postings. After Thanksgiving things started to move rather fast.
Here we are in Jenny’s second week for this round of treatment. Although she is getting a reduced BEACOPP therapy, she still feels rather weak at this point. However, she still has her sense of humor. She commented today that since see cannot get across the room without being out of breath, she must be “down to pints”. A referral to the amount of blood she thinks she needs.
She is not scheduled to go into MSK in NYC this Tuesday. But after some discussion, we decided that if she does not start to feel better by Monday, she will call in and see if they can take a look at her. This is one of those things that we cannot control through diet or exercise. Her red blood cells get reduced during the chemo treatment and it takes 1 to 2 weeks for these cells to replenish.
There has been a surge in the amount of great food that has been brought over to the house both from the neighbors and Jen’s coworkers from RHS. Some really outstanding meals, desserts and treats! Here is the rub…. Jen found out how much I weight and now she is worried about my diet. I told her that I am not has dedicated as her and will not go on the diet that she is on. I could just not handle it has well as her! This brought a smile to her face….. But she is still monitoring what I eat!
We hope all is going well for everyone. Please stop during this hectic season to give your love ones a quick hug, squeeze and a kiss.
God bless you all and keep rolling along.
