Texts From Allison

Texts from Allison, my niece I mentioned from when Mathew was first admitted to the Zephyrhills Hospital. She was in Orlando going through her Oncology fellowship.



                  How is he doing at home?  pain still controlled?
                  Received March 20

Yes swelling down too. He's trying to get his 
days and nights swapped LOL
Saw Dr. Reed before we left. He felt that cancer 
was already responding to chemo
Sent March 20

                   That's great. And if is swelling is going down that's a sign 
                   it is too.  Bet he is more comfortable and less snippy with you 
                   too now that he's out of there?
                   Received March 20

Has been a lot less snippy since 
starting chemo
Sent March 20

                     That's good. Finally having a plan probably helped in
                     addition to feeling better
                     Received the March 20

Yes
Send March 20

Nurse told me but don't remember. From start of

                      7 – 10 days from day one
                      Received March 21


K that's what I thought. His swelling is going 
down every day and apparently, he didn't get
full dose this time.
Since March 21


                       That's great. He didn't get full dose BC 
                       of his liver so it was the highest dose 
                       delivered could handle, so hopefully 
                       the Billi will be down to normal by
                       next cycle and he'll get full dose.
                       Received March 21


Yes and I think they were surprised Billi
kept going down and that he could take 
all five days.
Sent March 21



*****Mathew had had a noticeable change in his personality before his diagnosis. He had become quite short with me, which wasn’t like him at all. Allison had told me if was from the tumor and all of the toxins and she was right. As soon as he started responded to the chemo, he was back to his normal personality.

About this Blog, A Journey Through Sarcoma

Confections for Cats, A Journey through Sarcoma is a chronicle of my son's journey through Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Sarcoma. It is intended to educate and inspire by using Mathew’s thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears through a variety of mediums; art, music, and writing. Through factual experience, what we learned and what we wish we had known. Mathew’s desire was to give meaning to his journey and in the process help anyone else on a similar path. The last possible explanation in my mind for my son’s health problems was cancer. Even the words “the scan shows a large mass” didn’t lead me to conclude cancer and when the cancer diagnosis was confirmed, I still wasn’t prepared. My Mother is a breast cancer survivor and my sister Elizabeth passed away three years after her breast cancer diagnosis. I thought I knew what cancer treatment and living with cancer looked like, but none of us could imagine or be prepared for how all semblance of routine and normalcy had alre...

The Chemo Bell at Moffitt Cancer Center

Bells ring.  Bells, chime, toll, peal, resonate and resound. Bells foretell, warn and celebrate. The Chemo Bell The Survivor Bell Cancer Centers have one or several large bells, each with a large clapper. They are mounted on the wall and when a patient receives their last chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer they ring that bell. Mathew and I heard the Chemo Bell in the Infusion Center at Moffitt ring one time. Early on our journey. Everyone clapped and cheered. Mat and I stopped and looked at the bell that day and I thought at that time, it was a possibility for Mathew. Bells have a vibration. When a chemo bell rings, when a person survives cancer (even if it’s for a short time) they resound for the rest of us. Their survival reverberates and gives the rest of us hope.  I found another chemo bell on the 5th floor at Moffitt, in the hallway, past the patient rooms.  Next to the chemo bell was a copy of a photo of a patient surrounded ...

When a Cancer Patient Has a Medical Emergency

3 Days in the DRC, Part 1 If you haven’t read my first post about the DRC at Moffitt and how it works, since Moffitt does not have an ER, you can read about it here.  https://confectionsforcats.blogspot.com/2018/04/neutropenic-fever-after-ie-chemo-and.html In summary, the DRC is where an existing Moffitt patient is directed to go if they have a medical emergency.  Usually, we would be there a few hours or overnight (since we arrived at midnight or shortly afterward) until they had a room for Mathew on the ward. This particular visit Mathew stayed in the DRC three days. As mentioned in my other post, the DRC has maybe two rooms with a bathroom; otherwise, one bathroom for about a dozen patients. In Mathew’s case, a patient with a lowered immune system.  This time Mathew was in the room furthest from the bathroom.  When inpatient, we had a routine for getting him to the bathroom. First, he needed the IV unplugged (often quickly) and most times, I ...
