Farmers' Market, Lunardi's, Trader Joe's, cleaning the back deck, shampooing the dogs, run to the dry cleaner, wild Alaskan salmon Sunday dinner and Saturday dinner at a Chinese restaurant made up the weekend. In other words, very close to a "normal" weekend.
That is the good news.
The bad news is that Mary starts Gemzar chemo tomorrow. Supposedly, this is to be "mild" chemo but until it starts, we don't know how "mild" it is--or not. I'll be with her tomorrow for the first treatment. This chemo is once a week and Mary's day is Monday.
As she arrives, she has a blood draw for a blood test. It takes about an hour for the blood test results and if the results are favorable (red cells, white cells and platelets), the order is placed with the pharmacy. It takes another hour for the pharmacist to make up the IV dose. Plan a quarter hour to put her in a chair and half an hour for the IV to finish, its a 3 hour event.
