It has been one week since Kathy got her leukemia diagnosis and arrived at OHSU.
She is having a really rough day today. Her body seems to be responding to the chemo well; but, the side effects are making phone calls and visits very difficult. She has very little energy and isn't getting much food in; she also has a nosebleed that they are trying to get stopped (her low platelet count affects clotting). She has two days left in this round of chemo, then some recovery time.
I believe Rodger has turned off her cell phone. Please keep phone calls and visits to a minimum and be sure to check with Rodger before stopping by. If you need Rodger's number you can contact Brian or Melissa; if you don't know how to contact us, leave a comment and we will get the info to you.
