Mom and I gave the morning off so he could get a little break from us girls. We headed over to Metro to get another round of Valcade and things did go well. She has not had any nausea today which is a blessing, but she is having more pain in her back. This pain is mostly in the hip area so she is taking a little more of the pain meds. As always, we had quite a conversation on the way over and a little during the treatment about how things are going and how to deal with the day to day struggles. We talked a little to the nurse who was administering the chemo today, but because she was not her regular nurse, we didn't get a whole lot of information.
Good news yesterday from Dr. Hamati's office regarding her xrays they took while she had her stitches out. He did not see any fracturing of any of her bones so that is a blessing. While he feels the cancer is causing some of her additional pain, he feels that the chemo could help with that. She did call her family doctor to see about uping her Prozac to try to take some of the depression away during this time.
She has requested direct prayers for the chemo treatment to be successful enough so she will not have to go through it for another round after this one is complete, and that it be successful enough for her to undergo the bone marrow transplant. Continued prayer that she will be rid of the pain once and for all and prayer that dad and her both have the strength to endure.
