Hi friends, we thought it was time to update everyone on how things were going. It has been pretty crazy around here. I have been in Houston for three out of the last six weeks and Tammy has been there four out of the last six and is leaving again in the morning. It has been a wild ride for sure. Our two-week stay was pretty uneventful except for having to stay three extra days that we were not planning on. There was a computer issue with getting her enrolled in the clinical trial that took two days to resolve so we were stuck waiting to get started. When the problems were all solved it was pretty smooth sailing except for some very long days at the hospital. We did however find out that she would have to be in Houston every week for five weeks for a blood test and a check up. After the five weeks then it will drop back to every other week. Tammy started off doing really well. She had a few bouts with nausea but for the most part was feeling ok. We got back Saturday the 14th with Tammy taking full meds and doing ok. Her mom and dad left with her on Wednesday the eighteenth to drive her to her first weekly appointment back down in Houston. They drove all night to make her appointment at eight in the morning. Tammy had her appointments and they turned around and drove home and got back home around one forty-five Thursday night. Tammy was planning on going to work on Friday but that just wasn’t in the cards. She woke up Friday morning with full body swelling, her eyes we almost swollen shut. Swelling is one of the many lovely side effects of these drugs. Its seems that the drugs must be building up in her system because the side effects are starting to add up. Her back, chest, shoulder and neck are very painful. She says its like she lifted weights really hard and she is very sore. She has a rash over the same areas including her face. Her head is very sensitive. She says it hurts to wash her hair. Here is a weird one for ya. All of the curl that she got back when her hair grew back is now gone. The one that is causing her the most anxiety is her blood pressure. She tested it tonight and it was 149/110. Her normal range is 98/74 so she has been a little concerned. We finally got ahold of a dr. down at Md Anderson tonight and they told her to stop everything. Tammy decided earlier today that she was heading down there no matter what and we booked her a flight as driving was really hard on her. She is going straight to the hospital and they will be waiting for her. Hopefully they can figure something out to help ease some of this as it has been a pretty tough week on my girl. She was scheduled to have an appointment on Wednesday anyway so as of right now she will come home Wednesday night unless they can move some things up and let her come home sooner. Tammy’s mom is going down with her. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers.
