Monday - November 5th.

Today has been a day very much like the past two. A day of anxiety, apprehension, and anticipation as we wait for the results of the marrow biopsy. In addition to that, we just learned that Jan's latest mammogram needed some follow-up, so the doctors decided today would be a good day to run a breast ultrasound. So, adding anxiety to anxiety, Jan's appetite continues to be poor. There also seems to be a new rash almost daily. She has rashes on her legs, arms, and neck. The doctors keep a watchful eye, but so far, associate it with her low platelet count and reactions to all the antibiotics. After nearly three weeks, the chemo treatment has been the easiest aspect to deal with. Much more difficult has been trying to manage the stress, anxiety, depression, diarrhea, rashes, chest pains, and loss of appetite. We are just trying to handle things one day at a time, and this day is coming to a close. Tomorrow is another day.
