LOU IS DANCING
Lou said that if she didn't have to take chemo today that she would dance out of the doctor's office. She forgot to dance but she didn't have to take infusion chemo. Dr. Hancock prescribed Alkeran (Melphalan)
Melphalan is a cancer medication. Melphalan interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their growth and spread in the body. Melphalan is used to treat multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer), cancer of the ovary, and breast.
(I copied that from a search.)
She has to take 5 pills a day for 5 days starting Monday for the month. The primary side effects are lowering immunity of her system. Her next appointment is Dec. 29. The pharmacist said that someone would call by Tuesday to see how she was reacting to the meds.
She was so happy to get through by 9:30 that she even got hungry. We visited with Mary Kathryn and Mark got off of work early and we all ate at Olive Garden in Weatherford. Lou even ate a little salad and some shrimp and pasta. The first time that she has eaten in two weeks. We got home before 3 and got a nap. Kathy and her daughter Val went with us. About 5 our TT student got in and 5:30 Dr.Sylvia Grider drove in from Bryan complaining about the college students passing her on the right shoulder coming out of A&M. But she got here safely. The rest of Kathy's family is on the highway headed this way for a big Thanksgiving.
Your prayers are being answered.
