Good news today

Dr. B. feels like Peg got a full dose of chemo last week and doesn't need to do the next round until a week from next Wednesday.  We were expecting her to be hospitalized overnight-- had her bag packed-- but she's having lunch here at the house as I write this.

This is the part of the treatment cycle where she'll feel better over the next few days and put some weight back on.  Dr. B. recommended mashed potatoes with butter and sour cream.  I concur with the doctor and look forward to whippin' 'em up from scratch... I think the last time we had mashed taters here was about a year ago.

Another bit of good news is that for the next round of chemo, the plan is for her to be treated in the outpatient clinic on a four-hour IV drip.  So potentially, no hospitalization for the next few weeks. Yay!
