Survivor week 43 day 6

Got up this morning and took Barbara to her regular doctor. It was a good thing because she gave Barbara a prescription for the stomachs cramps Barbara has been having. It is caused by the chemo and now Barbara has a medicine for her upset stomach.

Then we went back to Leanna's house to rest. Leanna wanted to make Meatballs for supper. So we invited ac virginia melissa Hayden Kim Wes and Ralene. The food was great and we had a great time with family and friends. It lifts Barbara up to have friends and family around her

This afternoon she said that she could feel the avastin going through her body. She said she felt better. In fact she lifted weights and did arm exercises

She is looking forward to walking without a wheel chair or walker.

Survivor week 43 day 5

Got up this morning and drove to Dallas. Barbara received her avastin treatment today. We did not see the doctor

Then we drove back to Leanna's. It was just a long trip and Barbara is tired

She is hoping that this third treatment will give her more energy. She said that she wants to walk into the doctors office tomorrow. She has the right thought but her body is too weak

But the Bible says that God will be with us all the time and that He will take care of our needs

So our prayer is that we will rely on God to get us through this situation

Survivor week 43 day 4

Got up this morning and packed the car and we were on the road by 9. We headed to OKC for a doctors appointment. We met with dr Kahn about Barbara's leg pain. He said that the pain was caused by the chemo. He concurs with the oncologist that the leg pain is caused by the chemo. He said it was a good thing that she was not needing the pain medicine

He said that we did not need to come back to him unless more pain developed

One doctor done. Barbara is wore out by the trip to OKC plus 2 hours in the doctors office

We made it to Leanna's house and Barbara wanted to take a nap. She took a nap and then we ate supper and she went to bed. She just doesn't have energy.

In the morning we will drive to Dallas for her avastin treatment

Pray for safe travels and that the avastin will continue to cause Barbara to gain strength

Survivor week 43 day 3

Got up this morning and the health care lady arrived at 7:45. After she left Barbara took a nap. The we went to give blood to check her platelets

When we got home Barbara took a nap. The oncologist called and said that Barbara's blood platelets were at 65,000. That is up from last week which is good. We are still scheduled to get the avastin drip on Wednesday.

So in the morning we will head to OKC where we have 4 doctors appointments in 4 days.

Barbara is doing pretty good she is just tired. As the platelets go up so does her energy level. She told me she wanted to go out and mow the grass. I think we will wait before she does that.
