Day 3 was pretty uneventful. Got a chemo/ immunosuppressant medicine. Mostly tired. Not much appetite but they are happy if I eat anything.
Watched an episode of The Chosen, read a little, played Scrabble. I suspect the same for today (Day4). With the addition of needing platelets. Basically they have put my blood/bone marrow into a non- productive mode so they stem cells will step up and start to mature. Thus the need for so many transfusions. My blood just isn’t working anymore. I am reliant on others donating their blood to keep me going right now. A cancer friend’s husband donated here at MDA yesterday and asked it be for me. He has the same blood type. What a gift!!!
I am thankful for moments of nausea but not actually vomiting. I am thankful for the rest I am able to get at night and during my afternoon nap. I am thankful for my beyond exceptional care here at MDA. I am thankful for my excellent husband/ caregiver during this time. I am thankful for each day I awaken. And I am thankful for each of you, your prayers, your thoughts, your love. 💚Kay
