Irene felt so good Thursday and Friday after her chemo infusion on Wednesday that I called Banner MD Anderson to confirm that she had received the proper dose. They assured me that she did. Saturday afternoon Irene was not feeling great, but wanted to wish our daughter Dana and our Grandson Paul Happy Birthday, so we spent a couple of hours visiting with them and their families.
With four medicines for nausea, we have not been able to control her nausea, and she has been about as miserable as any time since the chemotherapy started. She has not been able to keep anything down. Her diet consists of crackers, Ginger Ale, soup and pills. The home healthcare nurse came by to attend to her PICC line this afternoon and really did not have any recommendations to help control the nausea.
I know that Irene is not feeling well, when she does not want any visitors or to talk to anyone on the phone. She has not even looked at e-mail for a couple of days. We are hopeful tomorrow will be a better day for her. If not I think we will see if we can get some anti nausea medication injected into her body through the PICC line.
Thanks so much for the food, cards, e-mails and calls expessing love and concern.
