Mom had a really good day on Monday. Better than she's had in months. She also had her first Alimta treatment that day. Since then, she's just been feeling awful and not doing well at all. Today she didn't get out of bed. Yesterday she was so shaky she couldn't hold her own water glass. From what Dad tells me it sounds like her pain level is higher than it has been too.
Everything that I've heard about Alimta has led me to believe that side-effects wise it was relatively mild... But here Mom is knocked flatter than she was with the Cisplatin and Gemzar.
To be honest, it's really got me worried. I know everyone handles treatments differently, but I'm scared something else is going on. Dad even told me today that he was afraid to check on Mom a couple times today because he wasn't sure what he would find.
So I don't know what to think. Could this be from the treatments? Is it the cancer? I am so afraid things are advancing, and I'm terrified that even though I leave in about a week and a half to go back to be with Mom long-term, that we might not make it in time. I hope that is an irrational fear.
I guess I just needed to express mostly.
