A little less green

• Visit to the Cancer Care Clinic in the CAM building at Big Barnes

Dr. S's nurse is off today but when I spoke to her yesterday she recommended that I speak with my oncologist's office today if I needed anything. So by lunchtime, since I still can't keep down water or any medicines, I placed a call into Dr. T's nurse's line. They decided to make an appointment for me at the Cancer Care Clinic for evaluation. It's a 24/7 clinic, available by appointment for Siteman Cancer Center patients, to hopefully keep us out of the ER and to get us the treatment that we need by specifically trained staff.

For me, it's fluids. More than a bag and a half of fluids, as I am dehydrated. It's also IV medications, since I haven't been able to keep pills down. It'a a cycle and by getting fluids and meds down, we're hoping to break the nausea cycle. After 4 or so hours, we head for home. Apparently, I have noticeably more color in my face. That's a good thing.
