Another Short Week

Treatments 4-8

I've been lazy about posting updates. Sorry about that.

On Monday, the machine was still broken. The cancer center said to show up at 5:30pm instead of Ma's usual time of 1:45pm. When we got to the center, they said we were supposed to come at 8:30pm, not 5:30. So we left. But Ma didn't want to go that late for her treatment. Pa called at 8pm to cancel. No one answered, and he left a message. The next day the center said they were expecting Ma at 7pm.

Ma managed to get her treatments Tuesday-Friday. Because she had missed 3 treatments -- Thursday and Friday last week, and Monday this week, 3 additional days will be tacked on to her original last day of treatment to make up for it. Dr. Shank, who we saw on Tuesday, said that Ma got a slightly increased dose this week to make up for Monday. So she only has to make up for 2 days instead of 3.

I've been keeping up the walks with Ma. It gets expensive though because I usually end up buying something. Yesterday I got some Christmas shopping done at Barnes & Noble.
