Blood work good today for chemo. Pharmacy mixing it then it drips for a couple hours. Probably will be mid to late afternoon until we are out of here.

We are thankful for kind nurses and meds that kills cancer!

It's the little things...

Yesterday I stopped to pick up Jim's chemo meds and the tech said  oh that's not right as she scanned  the barcode that brought up the price and I said well it probably is, knowing its expensive. The first time we went to get them after surgery the price had really jumped up and the pharmacist said he would give us the price we paid before surgery and gave Jim his card so if there's a problem next time we can talk to him. The tech called pharmacist over and he had already marked the bag with the discounted price ( tech hadn't even opened bag yet to see it )  so he explained some things to me and helped override the transaction, the tech was a bit frazzled by then, pharmacist called someone else to come help other  customers and I was standing there thinking he really wouldn't have to be doing this. As they were finishing up I told him how much I appreciated him taking the time to give us the best price he could. He looked at me and said at a time like this you don't need to be going all over town trying to find the cheapest meds, I want to do what I can to make it as easy as possible on you. 

Wow! Thank you Jesus for kind and caring people that go above and beyond  to make someone's life a little easier!

Jim's white cell count rebounded enough to go ahead with chemo tomorrow. He's had a week off and has been feeling good...working, running, doing normal activities. It sounds like there's a lot of flu, sinus stuff going around out there so praying it stays out of our house!

Bless you all for your love and prayers!

Dr visit

Jim had an appointment with Dr Khan today and blood draw. Because of the white cell count being low he won't be getting chemo infusion for the next cycle on Friday. He will take a week off and do blood tests again next week then hopefully start chemo the end of the week. 

He is feeling good, going to work, eating and exercising. For this we are thankful!
