Kay's white (cancer) cell count has dropped from 53 to 7. The doctors are pretty impressed. However, Kay is struggling to take her meds. Last night it took Marion three attempts before she managed to get Kay to keep her meds down. We think that this is largely psychosomatic, Kay has the idea that the meds will make her sick, so they do. You can practically see it happening before your eyes.
Kay is also eating very badly. She has lost a kilo in weight in the last few days. So it's likely that she will get a nasogastric tube today for both meds and supplementary feeding. Tomorrow Marion & I will get instructions on the NG tube and how to use it. If all goes well, Kay could be home on Friday and the rest of the treatment performed on an out-patient basis.
