Not a great day

Chemicals caught up with leisa. Totally fatigued. The back (L2) is trying to regain its hold as well. Tomorrow will let us know if we need to do something different about the back. We go at 1:30 to turn in the 2-day pump and look forward to 12 days before the next treatment. Fatigue should max out by Sunday and start to resolve for about three days thereafter. The offending drug is 5-FU. We all know what the FU stands for.

Tom D'Amour accused me of whining for meals in my last posting. Must have been effective...he made a meatloaf and bread for us. Both were outstanding. If you are bringing us a meal, please provide linen napkins and appropriate wine glasses along with a waiter and cleanup crew. Thanks.

Still waiting on the Archdiocese and its decision whether on not leisa's treatment will be paid for. Can't believe they can deny coverage that may save her life. Go figure. We hope the decision makers will wake up soon and do the right thing.


The weekend should be quiet. Might get in a round of golf and cut the grass. Simple pleasures. They're the best. Molly (the dog) is presently shaking from the thunder but I find it soothing. We need the rain. Need sleep. Good night. Cancer, to put it simply, sucks.

Have a good weekend.
