Busy Day

It was a busy day today. Cindy had lots of visitors. You can really tell that she is loved. There was a waiting list to get in to see her! She is very popular.

New things today.... She finally got the feeding tube in and working with food. She really hadn't eating anything in about 4 days. We are sure that she will feel much better with something in her stomach. We had a certain nurse that made that happen! Thank you Heather. She seemed more alert today than yesterday, but still under the anesthesia quite a bit. Again, hopefully the food and the doses of meds on Monday will bring her back to us.

As far as the chemo treatment goes, we have gotten a little more details about how that is going to run. They will start it with a dose on Monday. Then a another dose on Thursday. Then on Monday and Thursday again the following week. Four doses altogether. She will not be getting Herceptin, but another drug (I can't remember the name). This other chemo is a little more documented and tested. Once the initial doses are in, she will only get more as needed to battle the symptoms. And so we wait for this to do its job. We all know that the chemo will not cure the cancer, but hopefully slow its effects.

The whole family appreciates the outpouring of support and love. This is a hard time, but it is made a little easier with the love of family and friends. Hopefully I will have some great news next week. Thanks for reading.
