Close To The End Of Hospital Phase

 Good evening,

        Andy is posting tonight. Since returning to Anschutz from 4 day break. Thanks again TerTer!(Cathie's sister Terri-Amazing support Angel!) Returned on Valentines Day about 10:30 am. Honestly, even though I visited Wed. for a short drop-in, I felt uneasy being away from my Sweetheart. To me, Terri had the tough overwatch because Cath was at a low point in this process with her blood counts at almost 0. And knowing our merciful Lord, He has heard all the prayers for Cath and knowing His immense love for us, Cathies bloodwork continues to shoot upward each day.  So much so, the discharge nurse gave us a 1 hour point by point post hospital instructions to follow to continue at the apartment we will be staying at across the street from hospital. All of it is important in keeping Cath healthy and free from sickness as she continues to fully heal. Which the Dr.s say is a 6 month to 1 year timeframe. Cath was in a very animated dream state last night, between all the interruptions she's commonly experienced these 3 weeks. She had a great time with the Grandkids, as I heard her conversing with each of them as well as our sons. I am very thankful Cath is through the ugly nausea she's experienced at different times the past week or so. She still has some tough road ahead as they tell us she will experience debilitating fatigue. She has to take dizzying amounts of meds to help her immune system  and help her body accept the donor cells. Precautions will need to be adhered to when she is visited, i.e. masks and lots of hand washing and no hugs😞 till the 100 day. Thanks again for the love and prayers!

Ya, I'm starting cytotoxic chemo tomorrow.

 The MD/Researcher, Dr. Haverkos, called this afternoon to talk about yesterday's PET scan. It appears the first couple months the drugs held the disease at bay but the last two months, it has take off. After asking other questions I don't have the energy to share right now, he suggested I go into the hospital tomorrow and start Brentuimab and CHP. The letters all stand for drug names.  Again, I'm struggling to stay awake so I'm not including as many details right now.  The time in the hospital is a stretched out series of IVs, instead of the usual doing it all at once, to protect my kidneys that already seem stressed. The first round of chemo (I will do 6) kills off the most tumor load, so stretching it over a week is a good idea.  After 2 months, we will do another PET scan to see how we are doing.  I feel like it is time to get after this and see if we can actually get it into remission. He mentioned a Bone Marrow Transplant, which I hope we don't have to do....

The good and the bad - accepting both.

 I'm thrilled to report that the port wine colored blotches that look like huge deep bruises on my legs are looking better! I thought they were permanent. My hair is falling out faster than I expected. I guess things are just as they should be: cytotoxic chemotherapy kills newly dividing cells, healthy or cancerous. The lymph nodes in my neck are definitely reduced. I'm having night sweats which is a "B" symptom of lymphoma.  I'm 12 days out from the last chemo so I kind of expect to feel really good by now but I realize I am not sure what that is. My muscles all hurt. I'm going to take an Epsom salt bath in a bit. Is it the lymphoma? the chemo? or from being so sedentary? I don't know but I hope it improves soon, especially my neck, which really hurts a lot of the time. We keep trying remedies. I go to a a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a massage therapist and my hubby puts patches and CBD pain stuff on it all the time. It has resolved in the past bu...

Staying flexible and trusting in God's perfect timing

Howdy. I so hope your 2025 is starting off well. We had such a wonderful holiday season with an exceptionally fun time celebrating my 60th birthday, the end of 2024 filled my emotional cup in a very special way. It's been nice having these unexpected free days since going into the hospital was postponed to get organized a bit, meet with friends from my Al-anon group, see our small group from church, go to church which I love, and just regroup after such a busy time.  I got another call today from the nurse transplant coordinator. It turns out donor #2, from Poland, is not eligible to donate for some reason. The nurse explained that donor #1, from Germany,  was re-contacted - she had told the doctors she could not donate for at least 2 weeks later than what they wanted. Because there is some danger in waiting (if the lymphoma comes back, I'd have to do chemo again before transplant), they had gone on to #2. The first one is now able to donate 1/30 so I will now go into the hosp...
