ANOTHER CHEMO DAY
We met with Dr. Hancock with our daughter-in-law, Mary Kathryn, today. His decision was that the chemo treatment is being effective based on Lou's report of her symptoms. We won't get the new CA125 until Friday but Lou went through another chemo with a steroid/nausea plus a flu shot. After the chemo we were able to get to Macaroni Grill by 1:30 and enjoyed a good meal. We left by 2:30 and got home at 4:20.
Lou handled it well and a 6 oz. Coke handled her thirst on the way home. We had a beautiful day with average traffic and I am grateful that I have good health. We have been blessed and hopeful that this round of chemo will reduce the cancer. Dr. Hancock told Lou to make more use of pain medicine and offered to prescribe some steroids before she leaves next Thursday for a Friday Regents meeting in Houston. We will be driving back from Houston Friday night with a big day Saturday when we have the Lord's Acre at the Methodist Church and a birthday party for Lou's sister Sue at the Baptist church in the afternoon. The Lord's Acre auction will have some of MK's fancy jackets that she was working on during Lou's chemo. A lot of nurses and patients admired her work at the clinic.
We will have a lot of family coming in that weekend. I called the AC man to get the heat pump repaired at the Halsell House before next weekend. The exterminator is coming tomorrow to take care of the insects on the HH chimney tomorrow.
We thank you for your prayers for Lou. They are a great comfort.
