1st Checkup after 1st Chemo - 11/1/10

Sorry about the lateness of this post. This week has ran by fast. Mom went in Monday for your blood work and quick check up. It was very positive. She had a 98.9 temperature and all her blood cells looked good. Dr. Pritchard checked in on us and asked about how things were going and gave some advice on certain issues. They are still waiting on the results if Mom's tumor is hormone receptive or not and hope to get that back before our next visit, this upcoming Monday. One more bit of good news was that Mom's blood pressure has been low for a while. I don't mean low in a bad way either. she has been on two medicines for a quite a while for her high blood pressure. We asked the Dr. if they were still needed being that her pressure has been so great for quite a while. He decided that she could stop taking one of her medicines and he would see about the other in the weeks to come. Mom was excited about that. : )

Overall Mom has done well this week. She was a little more tired and fatigued the first week after because of the chemo but everyday she says she gets a little more of her energy back. She is a trooper!!

  3. Hey Mom. Our prayers are continually being answered! So it took all this to discover that you can go off your high blood pressure meds:) Small and simple things... Look forward to some good test results. Epsom salts baths are really good to help extract the toxins from the chemo and to relax and refresh you and lots of Love, hugs and kisses!! We know you're getting some and we're sending you some! Glenn and Liese
