7 April - More Treatment

I'm singing the same song recently here... Sarah's bilirubin was down to 1.6 from her blood test last Thursday but she is still feeling very weak and fatigued. Just walking in the house or lifting her arms for extended periods of time tire her out. We're not sure what's causing that, but she is getting getting Taxol and radiation treatments. Hmm. It'll be a long treatment day for Sarah tomorrow (Thurs): Taxol, Herceptin and Zometa - so together with getting premeds and anti-nausea infusions, it stretches to 3-4hrs of being on the IV drip.
We did find a nanny and she starts on Monday. She seems great and we hope this will work out well! And now that frees up my parents to return home so they are headed back this weekend after their extended stay (long for them, but very helpful for us!).

Glad to hear the liver function is improving and she is able to take treatment, I hope that she gains more strenght, but with hard hitting treatments like that, it seems likely you would be wiped out. Thinking of you guys lots, and pulling for the treatments to knock this thing back. Take care. Sharon

Sharon said everything I wanted to say and much succinctly than I would have - I love you, Sarah.
