A PET scan might not have been the most romantic way to spend Valentine's Day, but battling cancer sometimes causes inconvenient lifestyle changes. The scan took almost 90 minutes overall at Lifescan Minnesota in Edina. An hour was spent for prep and the scan was about 20 or so minutes. The results will be available to Dr. Boente tomorrow afternoon.
Lucy had a bit of an upset stomach today. We're both apprehensive about Thursday's appointment. Lucy has had a series of set backs since November. Her CA125 level has been slowly increasing which necessitated stopping the Taxol/Avastin treatments. The waiting is the hard part.
For the positive news of the day, she did get the latest Coumadin dosing for the upcoming week. She is on a three day cycle of 5 mg, 5 mg then 2.5 mg until next week's blood test. We did not get her hemoglobin level in the voice mail message, but there was no mention of a transfusion.
Tomorrow will be a test of how well Lucy can maneuver a walker. I'll be taking her to the Bloomington Deputy Registrar's office to get her driver's license renewed. Maybe she'll feel up to a belated Valentine's Day lunch or dinner. I did pick up some carnations for her tonight. She likes carnations because they last a long time.
We hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Take a moment to think of the people that love you and remember how lucky you are to have them in your life.
