new chemo
So today is the start of misty’s new chemo. The bright side is that the pharmacy gave it to me for free. It’s $4500 for a month and somehow when I went to pay, I had $0 due. Can’t complain about that!! And there was no preauthorization required. Thats pretty nice. I love this new insurance (Blue Bross Blue Shield).
Ok, so we are done with the good news. Misty is doing kinda rough. The last 5 days have been pretty bad. She took a distinct turn for the worse. She pretty much struggles with every sentence she tries to say. Also, she has very limited control of her right hand. She had a tough time washing her hair tonight…and writing is completely impossible. This of course is extraordinarily frustrating, so depression is an obvious side effect. I stayed home from work most of today…but I can’t say that i did all that great a job of cheering her up.
Not sure what else to say…wish I had better news. Today we started a new chemo as well as a drug that will reduce swelling in the brain (this could salvage some of her speech and/or motor skills). We will see how this goes…
