camillj Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Wayne, from the bottom of my heart, all the warmest wishes to you, Leah, Jen and all those close to you. It is perhaps when things are the hardest and bleakest that the truest meanings of Christmas can be found. I hope you are able to find some joy and happiness through your difficulties, knowing that many people have a special place set aside this Christmas in their hearts, thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

irishfield Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) So many (appreciated) emails and PM's... so little time, so I thought I'd update here. Jen had her 3rd chemo on Wednesday and weighed in at 91 lbs. Again the heavy push variety, like the first chemo, all given in 2 hours + 20 hours of bladder protectant and anti-nausea drips into her portacath.. disconnected and out Thursday shortly after lunch. Needle at 4:30, at her apartment, then we loaded everything up and came home through the mess of snow. So far so good this round, she's still eating fairly well and not feeling sick. Yesterday we awoke to 14" of new snow. Leah had 3 Dr. appointments of her own to get to, so I got Jen breakfast.. took her temperature and then went out to plow snow. About half way thru plowing I hear out of the 2 way radio .. "Dad, I want lunch in the next 20 minutes". Park the truck, make food and then back out to finish plowing. She's fighting some severe bone ache, but other than that getting some fairly decent sleep and being a couch potato. Hopefully she makes it to the next chemo without incident/fever etc. Has an MRI booked for the 21st to get the surgeon a new picture and her next full week chemo is the 26th to 31st. Then we're pretty sure she'll be having her surgery to remove what ever they need to to make her tumour free and then 6 more chemo treatments. Hopefully by late June we'll have her sitting on the dock enjoying some much needed R n R Edited January 8, 2011 by irishfield
