Again, I have failed at posting on a regular basis. Mom's 2nd round of chemo has affected her much differently than the 1st round. She has almost no energy and rarely wants to leave the house. She has had an array of side affects from this medication, but the lack of energy is the worst. She is very depressed. I am concerned about that. I have appt. to take her to her PCP tomorrow to see about a higher dose of her anti-depressant. My brother was in from Florida this past weekend, and Mom slept most of the day on Saturday, which she would never do under normal circumstances. She doesn't get to see Rob very often and makes sure she enjoys each and every moment with him. She broke out in hives Saturday afternoon; she is a nervous wreck. Ever since we saw the surgeon, she has been down emotionally. We had to call Dr. Simon to see if she was allowed Benadryl. When you are getting chemo you can't just take anything.

She went for her bloodwork today at Dr. Simon's and everything looked good. She told them about being extremely lightheaded, so they took her blood pressure, but it was good, as well. She is frustrated, tired, sick depressed and all I want to do is press the "Easy Button" and make things good again for her...................................
