I am posting rather
late today because Barry went in to teach his class before I had the energy to
get up and dressed for the daily t-shirt picture. So here it is, better late
than never.
Yesterday was quite
an exhausting day; it was the first infusion of gemcitabine. Of course, as
often occurs, this got started more than an hour and a half later than
scheduled, but it is still necessary to wait at least two hours after the
infusion before having the daily radiation therapy treatment. So, after meetings
with both Drs. Iyer (medical oncologist) and Kollmeier (radiation oncologist),
hearing a presentation about a genetic study in which I have agreed to
participate, and receiving my treatments, we did not leave until nearly 6 pm.
Sleep remains a challenge, so I think I went through today in a bit of a fog.
Having said that, the
radiation therapy went quickly this afternoon so we stopped at my favorite shoe
store on the Upper West Side, Harry’s Shoes, and I found a pair of shoes to go
with the outfits I had bought for the upcoming Bat and Bar Mitzvah celebrations
in our family that I hope to be able to attend this fall.
For now I am going to
try to get to sleep early. Tomorrow we, of course, head back down to MSKCC.
Enjoy the music!
Love,
Rebecca
