Toni received a welcomed break from chemo today. Instead she worked about 7 hrs and then attended a 1 hr massage for her lymphedema. They sent her home with an arm compression wrap. Once they get her lymphedema under control, she will get a sleeve to wear on a more permanent basis. She is also trying a variety of exercises to keep the ol' lymph nodes flowing.
Other news: her hair loss seems to still be more than normal, but it is consistent. Good news is... you can't really tell.
Tuesday starts her new regimen. She will begin taking a daily dose of the chemo Xeloda along with a 4pm daily radiation therapy. This routine will continue for 7 weeks.
So, she has three days to whoop it up! Anyway, odds are she'll spend most of that time getting good sleep and taking it easy. We are trying to keep Mr. Maggie buzzed on cat nip to give her a break from his constant need to lay on her lap. This evening he just laid there twitching on the floor... what a ham!
