This is Melissa, hacking into Caryn's account. Happy spring everyone (as snow flurries outside)! I am here with sweet Caryn at chemo round 2. After eating some delicious lunch from Chela's and then Caryn's favorite part of chemo, the massive dosage of Benadryl that makes her feel sky high, Caryn is snoozing right now and she asked me to write this update. She was super pumped up for chemo today and her neutrophil and white blood count was cooperating so it was a go! A nice volunteer was already by and had a cart of goodies so Caryn now has a new green knit hat and also what she is calling her doo-rag. It'll be nice this summer cause it's like a think red and white gingham cotton. She also found out some good news from Dr. Liu- her CA-125 count is down more than expected (she'll have to tell you the numbers herself). That is very exciting. The not so fun news is that her next chemo is scheduled on her birthday, April 18th. I personally think we should have a party on Wednesday the 17th with some delicious food, good friends and family. But Caryn also wants a lot of friends to stop by and bring her goodies and treats during chemo on the 18th. There can only be 1 person back with her at a time so should we have a schedule where different friends and family can sign up so not everyone overlaps, or just let it happen organically? I'm gonna go but I'll post some pictures. The first is a few minutes after her Benadryl was administered and the second is of Caryn blessing the chemo before infusion. Hope you are all having a wonderful day!
