Today has been a roller coaster of emotions. Saw my oncologist this afternoon and both scans and lab work were good. Will continue break from chemo through the holidays!😃 Got home late afternoon to find our sick cat passed away😢

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

@RidenourCecilia Normal is 3.5 to 5.3, so I’m in the normal range but barely.

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

Just got call from onco…potassium dangerously low. Go straight to ER. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

At 2:00 this afternoon, potassium hit 3.1. Still low but not critical. Dr says no, he wants me in the normal range before I can go home. I get 3 more bags if potassium. Latest lab results show me at…3.1! Same level I was before. WTH is goung on?

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

@BigMama22941275 Labs were still too long w this morning so been getting more potassium for the last 4 hours. Now gotta wait 2 hrs before they do labs again. 🤞

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

So all the potassium they gave me last night barely moved my labs. More infusion bags coming my way.

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

I’m so low that they said I’ll be here all night getting potassium and admitted me. Guessing we may need to cancel our camping weekend.

Yesterday’s scan was slightly improved. Dr sent me a note that improvement is good and we would talk more about what this means next week. She did not specifically say we are back on track, so not sure what is next.

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

Follow up CT scan today. Last one showed a lung inflammation consistent w pneumonitis. If improved…not pneumonitis and can continue current chemo. If the same/worse…then can’t continue this chemo and we are back in unknown territory.🤷🏻‍♀️

Good morning. We are driving home after our road trip: Wisconsin, Minnesota, U.P. and back to lower Michigan. Saw friends/family, ate a lot, did touristy stuff and learned some history. Haven’t had chemo in 6 wks, so I had more energy. Life is short…might as well be happy!💕🌸

@snufflewort Happy Birthday!! Enjoy all the festivities!!🎂🌺

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

Went out to breakfast with hubby. I got a breakfast skillet and he got a stack of blueberry lemon french toast and we shared meals. Yummy! One of my fav things about being a couple💕🌸

@snufflewort Maybe your immune system just hasn’t recovered? It is so easy for our minds to go to C.

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

@ASanchezs65 Thankfully I get my zofran in a bottle. Both r things you need quickly!

Stage IV cancer patient here. I’ve seen how chemo pills are packaged. Can anyone explain why you need a chain saw to get Imodium out of the package???

@joypcoffee Just went last week. Insurance paid the dr fee and a small discount on glasses. Cost me nearly $400 oop for 1 pair of glasses.

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

@snufflewort Hope the find an answer with an easy remedy!

[Elizabeth💕🌸 @ElizabethS68]

@EdFigarsky That’s not what ours look like. That would be easy peasy. I just use my thumb nail on packs like that.
