December 31st

So the week has gone pretty well. Still feeling good just tired a lot. Looking forward to a better year filled with love and healing! Wishing everyone Faith, Hope and Love in the New Year!!

Good News

Chemo went well today. The nurse said my levels were back to baseline, which is good because they were way off on Friday. Got one bag of fluid and my chemo, and the best news is my levels were good enough that I don't have to go back to the hospital until next Wednesday for my Dr appt!!! This makes us very happy :)

Christmas

Had a great Christmas yesterday and another good day today. Had some strength and energy today so I was able to help Dave clean up the Christmas carnage of toys and toy boxes and the house a disaster :). Tomorrow morning back to the hospital for chemo and probably fluids. They told me this week shouldn't be as hard because it is only one kind of the chemo instead of both...let's hope they are right! Have a good night all!

Day 3 12/21

Update from Andrea's Facbook post...

Well, day 3 was actually better than day 2. Still pretty tired but not queasy today. Back to the hospital for more hydration, will keep you all updated. Thanks still for all of the love and support :)

Day 2 12/20

Update from Andrea's Facbook post...

So went back to the hospital for hydration this morning, they took blood and all my levels were good so I didn't have to get any fluids. Very tired today, a little queasy this morning. The nurse said day 3 is usually the worst, so we'll see how it goes tomorrow. Back to the hospital in the morning to see if I need hydration, will update again tomorrow.

Day 1

Andrea started Chemotherapy on Monday December 19th, 2011.

Here is her what she posted on her Andrea's updates Facebook page.

*Started chemo today, was a nervous mess this morning but feeling better now. Got a lot of fluid this morning and some anti-nausea medicine. They just started the actual chemo drugs. Said I probably won't have any I'll effects until day 2 or 3.

* finally got home from chemo around six, was a long day. Have to go back tomorrow at 9 to get fluids but shouldn't have to stay as long. We r tired tonight, but otherwise good. Thanks to my Dad and Carrie for keeping Rocco all day and getting Gino on and off the bus and feeding them. Thank goodness we have such great family and friends to help and love and support us! We love u all!

Friday Update

Spoke to Dave last night and wanted to update everyone on Andrea. Andrea and Dave met with the Oncologist yesterday and Chemo therapy will begin Monday. They are still baffled as to where Cancer began but they have decided to treat it with 2 types of Chemo that will attack cells in the pancreas , liver, lung and breast. Please keep Andrea, Dave,and the Cancer Team at Henry Ford Hospital in your daily thoughts and prayers as they do everything it takes to fight back!
