I asked about the injection (neurlasta sp?) and the MO and nurse said they thought the side effects were worse than the benefits... PEG tube surgery is Tuesday - they will re-check counts that morning.
Dan wanted to go to work after we left the cancer center (since we have a free 1/2 day) and I told him the doc said for today and the weekend he is supposed to take it easy and be on mild bed rest. I can't get him to rest for anything so I just flat out lied!!!! I hope it helps him. This is when it pays off that he can't hear and that he leaves most communication up to me.
And he's nauseas today, which seems weird because we didn't have the chemo...
Kids are gone to be with family and my house is quiet. I feel like I won a prize. I am going to lay on the couch with my dog and have a little quiet time watching Fox News :-)
