Chemo #3 update (11/10)

Hi all - I suppose it's long overdue for another update. Elizabeth had her last chemo treatment this past Friday, 11/4. Everything went well that day but it didn't seem to go as smoothly as the last treatment. She felt a little different than the last time but I guess that is just the way it goes with this stuff. Three treatments in and the one thing that we can predict is that it will be a tad unpredictable.

I had my mom, dad, sister, and her boyfriend come up to Memphis this past weekend - so that was fun! We went to a reception for Tiffany and Aspen this weekend, which was absolutely beautiful. Grace and Craig came with us (sister and boyfriend) and LSU made the night even better!!! Elizabeth got to get a manicure and pedicure Saturday during the day - right after receiving her 2nd Neulasta shot. I think that this time it was a little rougher than last as she was a little more "achy" on Sunday and Monday. I am guessing that the Neulasta was the culprit again - though I can't be sure. The good part, though, is that I think that we have found the right combination of anti-nausea meds for her. She seems to be only slightly nauseated for the few days after treatment. It seems as if the Emend is working very well (headaches aside)!

She went back to work yesterday and as expected, enjoyed it! Weirdo. Haha. We are going to watch our little Anna in a cheer event tonight. Can't wait. I know she has enjoyed this so much so we are really looking forward to it. I think I probably like this better than dance recitals - mainly because of choice of music. I also love watching Lyla at cheer practice...she LOVES it! Dances and laughs so much. It'll be a good time, for sure!

As for what's next - well, Elizabeth will see Dr. Pallera again next week. At that point, she will have another CT scan done to see if the tumors have gotten smaller (fingers crossed!). Then chemo #4 will be 8 days from now. Luckily, we get Thanksgiving week off and can FINALLY go back to Louisiana! It has been so long and we can not wait to see everyone. It will be a truly special holiday for all of us and we are just really happy that we can be home to share it with our family and friends.

We are halfway home in the treatment cycle. By the time Christmas gets here then chemo should be done. What a blessing! We continue to say thank you very much for all of the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. They mean so very much to our family. Also, because I love football so much this story has truly disturbed me - please say a prayer (or keep these people in your thoughts) for the victims of the child molestation incidents that took place at Penn State. Their lives are forever changed and no matter what happens, those memories will haunt them forever. I know that they are singled out but because of the high-profile nature of this incident, it will only get worse for them.

Again, thanks everyone. Have a wonderful day!
