Feels like some victory
Appointment this afternoon went pretty well. Dave walked from the front door to the MD office, had a lab draw and then we went in for his appointment. His potassium is 2.5, still low. The doctor mentioned he can take the pills or......eat food like bananas or potatoes. More ammunition for me. He did lose 3 lbs. Not too bad for 3 weeks. His hemoglobin was 8.8 last week and he thought some blood tomorrow would help. I know he'll feel better after that! Dave's chest x-ray looked good- scar tissue and a "shadow" which they feel is nothing. Still some fluid in the left base, but a lot better. Lungs sound pretty good. Hmmmmm, well he does have thrush again and that's part of why he's having issues eating. Back on Diflucan for 2 weeks. All and all, he's better. Plan is to continue IV fluid 3 x/week until next appointment. Get chest and abdomen CT scan before next appointment. Next appointment is July 22. That is the one year anniversary of Dave's cancer diagnosis. Feels like a victory to me!

It is a victory, one year later and Dave is getting better! This a road I like, let's keep going down it. You have to eat and do stuff you don't want to get the strength up, then the body kicks in. EAT!
