We're back from seeing Asteroid City at a theater that was all decked out for Instagrammable Asteroid City pix. (Which we took.)
So the last two weeks (since the previous infusion) have been very rough on Jacqueline's GI system. Much diarrhea and vomiting. A new record, as it were.
We had talked with our oncologist about lowering the chemo dose to give her body a break, and he was good with that choice. We're maintaining the dosage of the study drug.
We've also made an adjustment to her eating earlier before we take the study drug instead of eating after the study meds.
The upshot of both of these adjustment is that her tummy has been better and she's had more appetite.
Which is good because she lost a notable amount of weight over the last two weeks, so now we have a strategy going ahead to try to eat more regularly and put some weight on.
Also, she had more energy today than typically after an infusion. She went out to brunch with me, we had some time poolside (she mostly napping in the shade) and we went to a movie.
That's a pretty active day for her.
Cancer care = infinite adjustments.
That's a pretty active day for her.
That sounds like a lot for any Sunday!
We walked past Tartine today but it was busy and there were no seats; I would like to get lunch there at some point.
Tonight I learned that frozen rhubarb curd is pretty close to ice cream.
Mmm, rhubarb curd aid so good. Never tried frozen.
Was it that Barbenheimer thing he posted yesterday?
It was indeed!
Bon jour (as Room service greets us here). We're packing up and awaiting breakfast.
Hoping everything goes smoothly on the return today.
Smooth return travels, Zmayhems. Good vibes for the adjustments doing as hoped.
I went to backyard karaoke party last night
I've been thinking of doing this at our place! What were your thoughts? Anything you particularly liked or did not about the whole deal? Like, "Make sure to..." or something?
First clafouti of the summer in the oven. (Paging megan walker: yes, I did pit the cherries! :D)
I’m making my first 2023 clafoutis later today!
Marks calendar: Clafoutis-Fest 2023!!
Done with the hospital and killing time at the hotel lobby before we head to the airport.
JZ is so tired and we won’t be walking in the door at home until 8pm or so.
Timelies all!
Had a short home visit with Mr. S this weekend. Insurance won't allow more than 72 hours of home visit time in a seven day period, so we couldn't pick him up until Sat. morning, and we just brought him back. Had the usual can't/won't go to sleep issue, but it was resolved quietly, and the rest of the time was fine.
