Day 16, 04:00pm

Dr. Ebrahim thinks Anne will be here for the weekend, and if she is better Monday that the R/T may be restarted. He definately will change the chemo program. There are alternatives, however they all have an effect on the lower GI.

If Anne could handle meals, she would be out of here. She tried a few different things to eat today, none of which was her digestive tract able to handle. She does feel better tho. She had cornflakes and milk this morning, big mistake, so no more dairy products till her belly has a chance to heal.

We took a walk in the hallway today, first time out of the room, so a milestone. Nothing really new today. This chemo (and radiation) have really done a job on Anne. It's tough stuff as we have all heard. It will be out of her system soon. There are other patients here with similar issues, and some are worse off than Anne.

Your prayers help !!

Day 16, 10:00am

Anne ordered dinner last night and ate a little of it, some pasta, squash, and cheese cake. She is tolerating the Octreotide shots OK, and she was sitting up in the chair when I arrived this morning !! Her 'runs' have slowed down to once every 2hours, so 'things' are getting better, and she is doing alot better.

This morning her IV became infused (blew up) so a new one has been started in her right forearm.

We look forward to seeing Dr. Ebrahim later on today.

Anne just asked me to relay a message on to everyone, "No visitors please." She knows you'll understand. She sends her love and is grateful for all of your thoughts and prayers. It's funny, but we almost forgot about the cancer this week with all the hooplah. We'll get back to that, with a new treatment program, when she is back on her feet. the goal for that is Monday.

Your prayers help !!
