Chemo Round 3 complete

-

Anna is done with the third round of chemo. Now we brace for the inevitable decline of white blood cells that will start this Friday and last until Monday/Tuesday. We are praying we don’t have to make a trip to the ER like we did the first two times, but we’ll go if we have to. She’s been feeling great so far, but that is always short-lived after the 3rd day. 

The clinic is large and it always concerns us that there are so many pods for chemo infusions in this little town.

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our mom's health blog! We are all grateful for the support, prayers and well wishes each of you have sent to our mother, Anna Price. The love for our mother is overwhelming, but we aren't surprised! Our mom is an awesome and strong woman.   Today she feels great. Other than the sores in her mouth (caused by chemo and radiation) and some mild stomach discomfort, she is in great spirits. Praise God. We had a beautiful Christmas with all of the grandchildren. We played games, laughed and enjoyed every minute together. Unfortunately, Covid ripped through the house on December 26th and cut our trips short. Everyone cleared out, but I (Mercedes) stayed to make sure she was ok. Our mom was diagnosed with Covid on December 29th and ended up in the hospital by New Years Eve. She was released on January 3rd. Thank goodness she is strong and has recovered, but chemotherapy and radiation are back on the table so hopefully this blog will help each of you stay updated

Many of you have been asking what you can do to help. Thank you so much! Our mom is in great hands, but if you are willing, she would love kind notes, funny cards and extra prayers! One thing we do to make her smile is have fresh flowers in the house every week.

Back to radiation

Started radiation again this week. The week off was nice even though we were fighting Covid with extremely low white blood cells.  In order for us to return to Oncology my mom had to get two negative Covid tests, which we completed this week.  Round 2 with chemo is Monday. Not looking forward to it, but grateful for feeling ok this week. My mom even managed to take a few walks in the sun!
