Merry, Thanks for checking.

The biopsy of her lymph node went as expected and we should get the results Monday when we meet with the Oncologist. Liz also had a MediPort inserted for future chemo treatments. She is fine, still ambulatory and at home.

After her lung embolism last weekend she is on oxygen and now has a physical therapist and hospice checkup service that will be coming by about once a week to check on her and give her tips on handling the chemo and radiation treatments. Looking forward to getting her treatment started and possibly slowing the growth of the cancer. Fingers crossed.....

BTW... checked on the steriod frequency and you were right on the money with every 6 hrs that she is normally awake...

Morning, Bob-It sounds as if you had a productive day, accomplishing all the steps that need to take place prior to treatments. There are some wonderful services out there and I'm glad that you are taking advantage of them. Hospice is incredible and will ensure Liz's comfort. You can ask them anything and they will bend over backward to help!

I don't know why pharmacists (probably insurance co's as well) don't put when you should take medications...it's so easy to mistake directions. At least it was for only a few nights! Now you can get some good rest, I hope.

Please extend my best to Liz and please take care of yourself. It was a big day yesterday and I bet you both need some well-earned rest!

I'm here if you need a prop, shoulder, or anything. I hope that you will take advantage of this!
