Linda's Lymphoma update 7-9-11

She's home and well!

Linda finished the chemo at 6:00pm this evening and I brought her home. She is doing great - no pain, no nausea, good appetite - pizza and Hagen-Daaz bar for supper!

Tomorrow she starts the Neupogen shots, but this time we decided to keep her on steroids throughout the course as this seems to prevent swelling in the bone marrow and thus the severe pain she gets after 8-10 shots.

I'm hoping she will be home right through, until it is time to do the next chemo (2 1/2 weeks)

Thanks to Helen and Liz and Rick for in hospital visits this past week.

Thanks to everyone for prayers, cards comments and help.

She really is better than she has been for the past 3 months. The prayers are working.

  4. That is certainly a good report! I hope there will be no pain and a continued good appetite. I'm so glad you (David) are keeping everyone informed in this blog, and I loved the hawk pictures in your bird blog!! Have a wonderful 7/11/11 birthday -- what a cool date.
