Chemo (5th cycle) Finishes
OK, today was the final infusion of chemo--Cytoxin--for the 5th cycle. One more to go!!!! Jim is doing well so far. They gave extra IV fluids each time he went in for the past 5 days and on Friday, when he goes in for a blood test, he will receive more IV fluids to prevent him from getting dehydrated. We're hoping no high fevers this time because that seems to be what causes him to be admitted to hospital. We will celebrate our 49th Anniversary this Thursday and we expect to celebrate at home and NOT in the hospital! Thanks for all your support! Barbara and Jim

5 down and 1 to go...what a finish! I have good thoughts that all will go well. May I be the first to wish you both a Happy 49th Anniversary! I know you will celebrate at home with a half gallon of ice cream (and maybe a bourbon?)...at least make it Hagen-Daaz Rum Raisin! All the best, Joanne and Sam

ReplyDeleteDear Barbara and Jim,
ReplyDeleteYeah! So glad for you , Jim, that cycle # 5 is finished. I know that you and Barb are both relieved to have one more behind you! HAPPY 49TH to you. It's officially July 2nd now. I'm such a night owl. Hope that you two can spend a quiet day and evening alone and as Joanne said, with a half gallon of your favorite! God bless!
Love to both of you,
Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
