10-11-09 After lowering Kecia's steroid from 15 mg to 4 mg per day Kecia is back to her old self! She is feeling much better and was able to get caught up on her work. Her doctor thinks she is lucky not to have had a heart attack on such a high dose. Fortunatly they were able to catch the mistake and correct it before anything serious happened. Another praise...Kecia was told that the radiation would cause her brain to swell, giving her severe headaches, but so far she has not had either. She does have alot of "scalp pain" which she describes like a bad sunburn all over her head, but she says it is tolerable and not a big deal. She is about 3 days into the first chemo pill and so far so good. She will start the second one next week. She is a little concerned about the cost of her medications as the first pill is costing her about $90 per week and she was told that the second one is considerably higher. Say a prayer of thanksgiving this week as we are so grateful to have fixed Kecia's prescription problem! But also a request that her finances are able to cover her meds.
