Bob- Another week has gone by. Has Liz begun to eat a bit more? How is she doing with chemo? Can she tolerate the side effects?

If I remember correctly I think that your youngest daughter is visiting this weekend. Perhaps you can get some much-needed rest and time alone, outside if it's nice outside.

Best to you,
Merry

Liz is vomiting from her chemo and still refuses to eat. She has anti-nausea pills, but they do not seem to be working for her. Both myself and our daughter have been on her to eat and I made it plain that if she does not start eating, she will be in the hospital soon. It seems that everything she eats comes back up in a short time.

She will be going for a hip exam next week as it is really paining her now. While she can still get around with a walker or cane, she is very slow and complains about the pain it is causing to be up and around.

I am still up most nights. Lately it is the worry about getting wheelchair access to our home. We are approximately 62" off the ground and it looks like it will take an extreme ramp to get her up here. I have started checking on selling the house and moving into a ground floor apartment, but there is very little available in our area.

Sounds like a bad soap opera, but this is our state of affairs...... Thanks for checking up on us!!!
