| Dad in his garden after treatment |
We were up early for our 8am appointment at Karmanos. Yes, back there so soon. 24 hours after each treatment Dad has to get a Nuelasta shot to help rebuild new white blood cells. One of the major side effects of chemo is that it doesn't know the good cells from the cancer cells; so it attacks all the cells in an effort to kill the cancer cells. Low white blood cells put you at risk for an infection. It is so very important that we avoid this at all cost.
Soon after our appointment I headed 'home again', to Columbus. I had been there in Detroit since the 22nd of July. The look on the girls faces when they realized it was me pulling into the back yard was priceless! It was so hard to leave Mom and Dad, but it was so good to see my husband and my eaglets.
Harry told me that I would have two in D-town looking out the window waving goodbye and five looking out the window in Columbus in anticipation of my return home. :-) I AM LOVED!
I slept for 7 hours....

ReplyDeleteHey Biddy,
ReplyDeleteDad's garden also has green beans, peach trees, and lettuce. The peaches are ripe and ready to pick. Mom says we'll have to bring some back to Ohio next time we're up there.
He has a follow up appointment with his oncologist on Monday. If all goes well with this appointment he'll begin the 2nd cycle the following Monday. This cycle will take about five days to administer. Then another couple weeks break before the next. Thanks for the post Biddy. Talk to ya soon.
