Just one more chemo treatment tomorrow and we are through for 3 weeks.
He has to take an amino acid shot on Friday that will allow his bone marrow to produce more white blood cells, which will in turn keep his blood count up. Consequently, he will not end up in the hospital again with his counts in the basement. He couldn't take it before because he was still having radiation treatments. The radiation would have destroyed the shot's effect.
We were going to have to stay until Friday since the shot has to be administered at least 24 hours after the last chemo treatment in a round. However, Dr. Keedy is going to let one of our 5 nurses (in our family) give him the shot. That means we are going to come home tomorrow after our treatment at 8:30. Yippeeeeee!
We are back at the lodge and trying to find some place to eat. Imagine having that kind of problem in Nashville, TN. However, he still does not want to waste money on really good food at this point. He has a problem with not having good taste buds and not knowing what will or will not stay with him. He would rather spend a little money on food at this point.
Thank you Lord for your many blessings and all those wonderful folks who have lifted us up to you in prayer.
Have a glorious day,
Cathy
