Well the last week or two have been a bit ordinary
really, as my body adjusts to the new ‘Nivolumab’ drug. Some days have been
almost pain free, while others (nights especially) have been just the opposite.
However I am getting better at asking for medical help, so I now have a
container filled with extra pills, lozenges or patches to use if needed. Of
course this all takes time as it’s often a matter of trial and error before the
best relief is found.
Things I am hoping for this week:
- that the immunotherapy drug is working, and ridding my body of every last cancer cell.
- that the best pain relief is quickly found (or better yet, that my back pain stops completely, so that no pain relief is needed at all)
- that the barking dogs next door come down with a severe throat virus that might bring some peace into the neighbourhood.
- that Brian’s ‘good’ days coincide with my ‘good’ days. Then again, perhaps it’s better that one of us has a good day at a time, in order to manage the daily meals.
- that no local druggies ever discover what there is in our house – I’m sure they’d think it would be well worth a raid if they but knew...
Things I am thankful for this week:
- the messages of love and the prayers that have lifted us up.
- God’s amazing promises – a new one emailed to me daily by an amazing friend.
- (from Brian) the opportunity to enjoy a 50 years High School reunion – and trying to recognize who all those ‘old’ people were!
- The ‘gentle nudges’ that I receive to update this blog, even if I don’t think I have anything worthy of note to say.
- Wishing grand-daughter Lauren a happy 6th birthday.
