Hello dear friends.
I hope Janet's message below will be a pleasant surprise. Yes, she is recovering her strength after a terrible weekend. I do not wish to get into details, but on Saturday and Sunday, we had to go to an urgent care center twice and to the emergency room at Holy Cross once. It was a rollar coaster ride. That is behind us now, and she has new medications that are better adjusted to her condition.
She had a good day at home on Monday and is recovering and eating better.
She is NOT well enough to receive visitors though. Do NOT call the house. She is still resting and recovering. Today she had about 10 telephone calls from doctors and nurses. Answering the phone is stressful in such circumstances and we want to keep the line free too.
Let us hope she can add some more to the blog tomorrow.
Tomorrow we meet the senior Kaiser onoclogist and talk about her prospects and what we can expect. We hope to start with a special treatment ideal for her condition. It will start with an orally taken pill for once a day I believe. More involved chemo will probably start later when she is more recovered from this past weekend.
We do not know how she will react, so your thoughts and prayers are still very valuable to us.
I'd also like to say thanks to Glen. And it was good to hear from you Liselotte. We are different persons now.
goodnight all
george, sr.

It's great to hear that the meds are straightened out and Janet is comfortable. Good luck at the oncologists today. We continue to pray every day and night.

Janet-
I wanted to share with you a little story about my Mom. She was prescribed a pill form of chemo along with IV. The pill was called Xeloda. She always hated to swallow large pills. She thought that Xeloda sounded like a belly dancer name (and this was before I got into it). Anyway, she liked to envision Xeloda as a beautiful belly dancer, snaking down her throat. That's how she got the pill down. Hope we hear from you again soon!

I'll happily supply a drum solo if it helps the medicine go down:
Doum, teka teka, Doum, Doum, POP! Hugs S~
George - I won't call the house, but I want to let you know that if you need errands run, or if you just need a break, please post your need and one of us will take care of it. It was wonderful to hear directly from Janet, even though we know she has been going through a terrible ordeal. Good luck when you meet with the oncologist today. Claudia
I am glad to hear things are becoming stable and on the right track. I know this is a coaster ride.
Good Luck with the appointment.
Athanasia
