It was another good day at Frauenshuh Cancer Center. We are at the point where we have been there enough that people know who we are. Mom has her favorite volunteers who wheel her out to the car or into appointments. Our favorite nurse, Lindsay, tries to get Mom on her schedule when it’s possible. The doctor and nurses remember things about us and ask how things are going. Makes our chemo days seem shorter when they are full of people who genuinely care. 

Lots of continued good news on the lab front. Mom’s hemoglobin was at 8.7 - highest it’s been in months. She gained more weight! 🥳  Very exciting to see her continue to be stable. 

The only number that caused some action is her neutrophils (white blood cells that help your immune system fight infection and heal). They were at the cut off level for her to receive chemo. If her number would have been any lower she would not have been able to receive treatment today. So moving forward on the days she goes in to get her take home chemo pump removed she will receive a shot that will help boost her neutrophil count. This is a very normal reaction to chemo so no one was surprised. 

We stopped at Chick-fil-A on our way home to get salads for dinner. No cooking on chemo day! An added bonus to the drive home - Batman! He was driving in front of us (see pic). 

We are thankful:
