I got to the hospital this a.m. by 8. Shortly afterwards Dr. G. stopped by to give him the OK to go home. Unfortunately, paperwork and waiting for 2 small pills delayed our leaving until about 11:15 a.m. This was probably one of our latest discharges.
Barry slept OK. Had some morphine when I arrived, in preparation for the ride home. Has discomfort on the other side of liver this time, do to that side being chemo'd (not a word, I know). It appears that is next appt. will be extended to be a 10 week period instead of the 8 weeks we've been doing since Feb. 06. As long as the cancer remains the same size with the current treatment, we're in good shape. If before the next appt. the CT scan shows a growth change, this plan will be altered once again. You have to be careful on how much chemo drugs are given. All these months Barry's tests on liver functions have been perfect! And that is wonderful news.
I got to nap for about 45 mins. this p.m. Then I had to take Tim to a birthday party. Would have liked more time but Tim comes first...Barry on the other hand has not slept at all today. His face is flushed which happens after every treatment. But like the energizer bunny, he keeps on tickin'.
