Tired

Monday, September 26th, 2011

Well, after 5 days of chemo and 3 days of radiation, she is feeling pretty tired. :no:

But, at least the headaches and nausea are mostly gone. I’m hoping she will get better rest now and have more energy.

Headaches Again

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

She’s having headaches and nausea again.  Called the doctor and he said the radiation is causing swelling and is making the headaches worse.  He upped the dexamethazone (steroid) dosage again.  We keep trying to taper off of it, but once in a while we have to bump it up a bunch.

Meds

Look at all the meds she has to take.  :-(

Decadron

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

The Dexamethasone seems to be helping keep the swelling down and the headaches to a minimal.  She is back to normal-ish, walking the dogs and feeding them.

She is going to try to do another thing everyday and try to get back to normalcy.

Feeling better

Monday, September 12th, 2011

We call the oncologist yesterday and he upped the dosage of Decadron a lot until we see him on Tuesday.  She seems to be doing better this morning.  We will see as the day goes on.

Please keep praying, thanks!
