One step backwards

So, I can’t seem to get enough of the hospital.

Yesterday, I had my bloodwork in preparation for chemo later in the week. I did not look my best…nor was I feeling my best.

After an impromptu office call with my oncologist, I was admitted into the hospital to come up with a better nutrition plan as I discussed in my last blob post.

I now have new PICC line placed in my right bicep…and in about an hour, I will start on TPN to provide me the calories and nutrients I will need to make it through chemo.

I’ll ramp up my TPN dosage over the next couple of days and then start chemo on Friday.

I feel renewed with this new nutrition strategy and know that I’ll endure my last sessions of chemo well…or at least as best as can be expected.

  2. Hey Dave, you are in our thought and prayers. I only wish we were closer so we could be of more help but with the PICC line and the TPN it sounds like you have everything you could ever wish for. Love you man.
