Rough week

[Skip]

Glad this week is over, one of the worst after treatment weeks so far. Monday took wife to the ER, bad headache,
the shooting pains came back with a vengeance. Blood test, cultures and ct of head, all were good! Doc gave morphine for pain and sent us home (5hrs).

Thursday night went to urgent care at advice of nurse. Wife was in extreme pain, side effects of morphine she was stopped up bad. Got prescription for laxative, sent home.

Friday laxative not working went to ER, we were there almost 12 hrs, more blood work and x-ray of midsection.
Doc said he was not going to let her go until things were all cleared out. Gave her go light, you know the stuff you get to clean out the colon before getting scoped, 3 hrs and 4 liters later the stuff worked!

We have come to the conclusion you can’t figure out what’s going to happen from treatment to treatment. She now has a large arsenal of drugs to treat the side effects of the chemo and the drugs used to treat the side effects, crazy. What next??

We are doing everything the doctors tell her to do and things still go bad. What are we doing wrong? Is this how the rest of her live is going to be like? When can life start being life again?

On a good note her CA 27-29 markers are down from over 800 before first treatment to 198 after her 2od treatment. The CT scan of her head was clear and clean.

On the 31st she gets another CT scan with contrast of her mid section and in April a Mugga test. Hope all goes well!

All that’s left for me to say is;
Cancer sucks!!
