So the good news first--the genetics testing came back with no markers related to breast cancer!
And the not so fun...
We ended up in the ER last night after the first chemo yesterday. Nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain not relieved by any of the meds I had been given. ER wait was nothing. Got put on an IV right away (that magic port!). Took a while to find out what drugs/combination of drugs would work but by about 2:00 things were under control. Michael Pate came out late on a cold winter's night to hold our hands. This was very appropriate since Gary and I had remarked we felt like little kids facing a really new situation. So with a change of meds and lots of IV fluids, I am home and feeling much better.
So sorry for the rough start! Thank you, Michael, for being there. Lots of hugs and love!

ReplyDeleteYeah on the good news. Boo on the rough time you had. I'm so sorry, but am happy your "team" took care of you. Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou have been a great help. Still eating on the chicken dinner...just right.
DeleteBarb, I'm so sorry you had such a rough experience, and I hope and pray that they have found the right combination of drugs now to prevent you from having to go through that again. Love you - Ann
