has been a very busy one. On Tuesday she was injected with a radio-active dye for something called Nuclear Imaging. Her first scan was done on Wednesday morning and she was required to lie still for 1 hour while the scans were taken.
Thursday was a day you wouldn't read about! Up very early for the second scan and then off to the oral surgeon so that he could check the work done last week. He explained that he'd cut some fat from Priss's cheek to plug the cavity caused when one of the 4 teeth were extracted and he was very pleased with the healing.
Next port of call was the dentist to collect her partial bridge, it needs adjusting.
Last but far from least was the hospital for her bone marrow biopsy. Priscilla's white blood cells will be taking a hammering in the next 4 months and she will be required to give herself 10 injections of neupogan to boost her supply of them. This was a shock as she hadn't known she needed so many injections or that she would have to inject them herself. A nurse will come to the house to show her how to do this.
The day was saved by a visit to a clever hairdresser who cut Priscilla's hair and restyled it for her. This was so successful in making her look younger that she was asked for ID when she went to buy a lottery ticket lol See how cute she looks?
Chemo begins on Monday morning and continues on Tuesday and Wednesday. Priscilla had a long overdue cry last night with Will and Kyra holding her tight until she could stop. She's tough and will handle the coming weeks bravely...we know the treatment is rough but will work.

Nice style Priscilla, onward and upward.
ReplyDeletePrayers going up for Priscilla. Chemo is a double edged sword,taking good with bad. Stand strong. My husband has lung cancer and is going on to his second series of chemo. Life is a journey with many rough patches, but many wonderful spots.
ReplyDeleteLots of love and hugs for Priscilla and her family, hoping this intense time of treatment goes quickly and smoothly for her. Take care Sue, JoyK xxoo
