Just wanted to let everyone know that is doing pretty good.

On Monday she tried to go back to work despite my urging her to stay

home for at least one more day. Well she lasted about an hour before

she decided that she felt to woozy to work. Took her home and on the

way home she told me that she was feeling a little pain when she

urinated. I called the oncologist and they said bring her in today

because she shouldn't be feeling any pain. They did blood work, gave

her an IV and took a urine sample. They said that she was dehydrated

and that may have caused the pain, but we haven't heard the results

yet. I will be calling them today to find out what it was. They

were concerned that she might be contracting a urinary tract

infection or bladder infection. They didn't call yesterday so it

must not have been serious in their eyes. When I talked to the ocn

nurse I told her that I thought that the dosage of the chemo

treatment may have been too much for her and surprisingly the ocn

nurse agreed. I mean really is only 4'9 " tall and 75 lbs on

her good days. She doesn't need a dosage for someone who is 5'9 "

tall and 175 lbs. We'll see what comes with her next treatment next

Thursday.

She went back to work yesterday and said she felt pretty good except

for some pain in her hip/upper leg area. She works as a proof

operator for a local bank and part of that is sitting there doing

data entry all day, but I am sure that the other part is the chemo.

The pain from the surgery almost 6 weeks ago is starting to go away

finally. She still has a little pain in the butt if you know what I

mean. Not sure if that is from being tense worrying about it or

what, I will speak with the oncologists office and maybe the doctor

who performed the colonoscopy today to see if this is normal. She

spoke with the surgeon who did her resection and he didn't seem at

all concerned about it. Guess he figured it was normal.

She is supposed to go in on Thursday for more blood work, but that

was scheduled immediately after her first chemo treatment and she

asked that I call and see if she still needs to go in after they did

blood work on Monday.

So now I have her drinking lots of Gatorade to keep from becoming

dehyrated again. She doesn't much like it so we may opt for the

Pedialyte instead. I'll pick some up today and see if she likes that

better. She definately doesn't like cold stuff though, is almost to

the point of being deathly afraid of it.
