Postponed again: Quick Update!

10 09 2009

I took a half day on Tuesday to go with mom to her first Chemo. Well I made it just in time to get there for her doctor’s apt and the doctor came in, chatted for a minute, checked out her incision from surgery and decided that it was not healed so they needed to postpone chemo. Apparently one of the drugs would prolong that healing so He was concerned. She will go back tomorrow for try #4 and hopefully actually get the chemo this time. I joked with her that every apt I have been to so far there has not gone as planned so maybe I need to stop going with her. The first one was an afternoon apt and the nurse didn’t tell the doctor he had another apt so he left for the day. The 2nd time was a couple of weeks ago which won her a bed at the hospital and surgery. Now this time her chemo was canceled. Ha oh well I guess one apt I go to will eventually go as planned. If she is unable to start tomorrow she is out of the clinical trial. They have to start chemo within 2 weeks of randomizing her in the study. :( This was pretty discouraging but hopefully all will be great tomorrow and she’ll be able to begin. Her general practice doctor saw her yesterday and said she thinks she should be good. She said to keep changing the dressing and to sit under a lamp for 15mins every 3 hours and eat lots of protein. So here’s hoping her day under the lamp will be just what she needs to get this show on the road.

In other news my stupid body is right back into its old games. Cycle day 44 so far and nothing is going on. And no im not pregnant. UGH! Seriously why can’t it all just work! I can only dream of being someone who plans the month to get pregnant and Poof it happens. :( So frustrating. I told my mom about it and she was like OH please let you be pregnant! We could use some good news. :( Gosh I wish more than anything that could happen more for her than me at this point! Please Lord fix my body and allow it to work so we can be fruitful and multiply! Please breath life again into my empty womb and let it be perfectly healthy! 3 years and 9 months is LONG enough to wait! :( Please make my mom a grandma to a baby here on earth and please heal her so she can enjoy them!
