Tom and I started the day off at the infusion center. I got a couple bags of fluid as well as my monthly zometa infusion and faslodex shots. I also got some pain medicine which was a little stronger than what I have been taking and that was wonderful.
While we were at the infusion center we met with the palliative care nurse. We talked a lot about pain management and learned a little bit more about the medicine I’m taking and the timing of it. I’m going to be a little more specific on the times I take it, and hopefully that will help manage the overall pain better.
We met with the oncologist today and I’m going to continue to take a break from the chemo pill until my mouth and throat are healed. Tom shared some concerns he had about things I’m doing while I sleep. The doctor thinks it’s probably the sleeping pill that I am taking, but did order an MRI of my brain just to make sure.
We got home around 1 and I’ve been resting and sleeping on and off.
Thank you for all of the kind of messages which started with, “No need to respond.” 😊❤️
Jennifer, this journey you are on has been incredibly difficult. Today in our ladie’s Bible study we lifted you to the Lord in prayer, asking God to meet all of your needs in ways that only He can do. You have been a wonderful testimony to those of us looking on. May God strengthen you, Tom, and your girls and bring you encouragement and hope.
You are loved,
Debbie

Keeping you and the family in our thoughts and prayers. “Words” are so inadequate, but I know the Father looks beyond our feeble utterings to the cries of our hearts…
