Chemo Underway

The super human Ginny started her oral chemotherapy Monday morning. She seems to be tolerating it well.

The challenge is pain. She is struggling to get her pain managed. She is needing to augment her pump with oral  meds. We are tracking her pain and meds and Friday we will return to Mayo for a Pain Team meeting and hopefully we will get the pump adjusted.

I have received messages from folks saying things like "she doesn't look sick."  She does look great, but she is sick.  She is maintaining her daily routines and yes she is keeping lunch dates and planned activities, BUT it is a challenge.  Activity is a sign of LIFE and she is LIVING!

I will post again Friday after our appointments.

In the meantime...pray for her "systems" and the pain.

love
Kir
