New Hampshire needs to get its mitts off your drugs, dcp.
I'm glad you're having a fairly good time with the siblings, Laura!
And I'm glad your stuff isn't completely messed up, askye.
I'm making use of the local Buy Nothing group to get rid of a bunch of missmatched glasses and cups that have been lingering, rarely used, in my cupboards. I went and helped strip the rapidly cooling corpse of Bloodbath and Beyond earlier this week and scored some nice glasses, so I needed the space. The FB Buy Nothing group has been pretty good, except for the one person who messaged me a few days later asking for $350. (And that's the story of how I learned how to make FB blocking work for me.) But mostly, my unwanted stuff goes away and presumably makes some stranger reasonably happy.
Fuck. Treatment cancelled today and our schedule just blew up in our faces.
JZ was feeling queasy when we arrived and she hadn't had a BM for a few days. They wanted to be extra careful so they took an x-ray.
Then she threw up into a bag in a wheelchair on her way to the x-ray. And then she felt better.
X-Ray showed nothing different from previous CT scans (so no worse than the original diagnosis) but they're worried about a partial obstruction and don't want to go forward with the treatment (either the chemo or the clinical study meds).
Now she's got an enema plus imaging scheduled for today to try to clear her out. But they can't renew the treatment until Monday.
Emmett has volunteered to cover Monday through Wednesday so we can stay on-turn with our treatment plan (which we want because the blood work shows the study meds are helping).
But now I'm in a limbo state where I haven't had anything confirmed from the doctor or the trial coordinator to pull the trigger on cancelling our flight on Sunday, booking new tix for Wednesday and extending our stay at the hotel.
And today was going to be a short easy day in comparison to the first two trips with ten hour days of clinical blood draws.
This whole thing is hard enough without extra complications. It's so hard to line all the elements up and then it's all fucked on this trip.
If she had pooped yesterday we wouldn't have doubled the length of this trip. (And she tried with a suppository, so....).
Oh no! I'm so sorry. Getting that all smoothed out ~ma!
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear all of that!
I had appropriate reactions to other things as well, but have lost them all! Except for laughing at the Fury call-back.
Poor Jacqueline! Give her my love.
Ugh. My sympathies to you both. "How come it never goes smooth?"
Well, that sucks, Hec. Human bodies are unpredictable enough without cancer and chemo entering the mix. It definitely makes scheduling a pain. I'm glad Emmett is able and willing to help.
They took Jacqueline off to get an enema — something she’s highly phobic about.
I hope this can happen without incident and I can get her home to the hotel.
We’re definitely staying to do the treatment on Monday and can leave on Wednesday to return home.
So Saturday and Sunday we sit around a hotel room. Which is not as fun as it was when I was in my 20s.
