Monday was 2.4 (2nd round, 4th treatment) and the end of round 2. This week Mom has been a little more weak, and her mouth is starting to get dry. Somewhere between Friday-Sunday is when she should hit bottom. Last time it put her in the hospital, so lets hope she fairs better this round. Dr. Jeong says she's doing good and is right on track. Friday she will call and check in with the nurse at the Cancer Center and if they think she is too dehydrated, she will go in for a bag of fluid.
We discovered so many helpful items after round 1, and she's proactively using them now. The mouth spray, gel, medicated toothpaste and sponges on a stick are helping. Hopefully her mouth won't get as bad as it did the 1st time. Just like any good Boy Scout, always be prepared!
