Sick, Sick, Go Away

Well, sorry for the lag in news. This week has been horrendous. Miss Jane finished her chemotherapy last Friday. She felt great all week and had a lovely visit with her dear friend Kathy. Friday afternoon she came home and hit the bed. She didn't get out for four days. Well, technically she got out for a bit on Monday to go and have a pet scan. But if she didn't have to, she wouldn't have.
We have been going in cycles of sick but smiling, to sick and crabby, to sick and weak. It has not been fun but at least we take a little comfort in knowing that it could have been like this the entire time she was in treatment and it wasn't. Thank God.
So today she had her surgical consultation. The doctor gave her the results of her pet scan and she HAS NO CANCER ANYWHERE ELSE IN HER BODY!!!! Again, thank you God! She will be having her surgery on March 17. She will be in the hospital for 8-10 days, part of that in the ICU. This means she may get out of the hospital right on her birthday. I can't think of a nicer present for her then to have all this in the rear view mirror, can you?
She had some hydration therapy today and we are going to go and get some more tomorrow. It made a big difference but she is not out of the woods yet. One of her favorite nurses warned her that it can just keep coming and going. It's awful.
Please pray for her to feel better. She says she knows that all of your prayers are the reason she has done so well so far. Her wall of cards and well wishes is beautifully decorated and she loves it.
PS- The cats are still fighting. Possibly the dumbest cats. Ever.
