Hairs the Difference Round 2

After a one week delay due to low WBC (white blood count), Willie went in today for his infusion of FLOT (refer to prior blog post).

Hairs the difference. Last Thursday’s labs had his WBC at 2.5 which is way too low for chemo so instead of doing it last Friday, he got a shot of Zarxio 300 instead to boost his WBC count.

And amazingly, yesterday’s labs showed his count at 10.1 so that’s in the high side of normal. Those $15,000 shots really work!

He went in at 11:30 and got out at 3:45. He’ll go back tomorrow at 4pm to take out the pump that puts in the 5-FU (chemo drug) and get another injection of the Xarxio so his WBC doesn’t dip down so low.

Nurse today was Emily. Willie really liked her and he got a private room with a tv today. Bonus is Erica (Kramer) Kostenko was also there to give us hugs and make sure he got the best care and snacks too.

Update on removing cherry trees; Today they came at 6am to finish chipping the rest of the trees that were pulled out. They finished around 10:30. Here’s our new view, no hair and no trees, no worries.

    It’s a beautiful view. Can’t wait to see it all completed.
    I like Willie’s new hair cut.
    Keep on trucking Willie. You got this! ❤️

Staging Done, Time to Start

Ready or not, here we go.  Cherry season picking for our orchard starts on 6/29 this year.  Ready or not, here we go... or maybe not.  Pablo says he only has 6 pickers this year vs. the usual 15 to 18.  Maybe we won't pick.  That's not enough to get the cherries off the trees.  Neighbors have no pickers to spare.  If we have enough pickers we can finish picking Lapins in 3 days.  Then wait a week and on to Sweethearts which would only take 2 days to get them off the trees.  So, if we have enough pickers we could be though the pick by 7/10 or 7/11.   Ready of not, here we go.  We met with the oncologist yesterday, Dr. Voshtina.  She laid out the plan for Willie's treatment to attack his esophageal cancer.  Good news is it hasn't spread.  Bad news is it's agressive and spreads fast so must be attacked quickly.  We are on the calendar for surgery to install a port for the week of 7/7, right in the middle of cherry p...

Hair Loss & Cancelled Chemo

Image
Tuesday, Willie got a hair cut. This was delayed from earlier this month when he had to reschedule but it was time. He didn’t get it buzzed off because I just didn’t think that would be good. So Elise just cut it short. The next day, Wednesday 23rd, he tried seeing if it would come out and sure enough it did! Of course I made him pose for a few photos which he dearly loves. Here’s one …. guess he won’t have hair for long. That said, it was a busy week this week. Willard got someone to provide a bid to pull out all our cherry trees. We are done, but that’s another story. He traded in the sprayer for a Kubota diesel side by side. And finally, when he got his labs yesterday, they cancelled his chemo today due to his white cell counts were just super low. He needs to get those up before they can give him rip d two. So he got a shot today of something that will bring up his white blood cell count to more normal. If that happens, he’s back on the calendar for next week, Thursday the 31st. Th...

It's All Happening

Cancer really sucks! It sucks the energy out of you and those around you. Willie and I are super lucky to be surrounded by many good friends and famiily. For that, we are grateful.  Cherry harvest began on Sunday, 6/29 and we were both up bright and early to greet the crew. It's been hard to find pickers but Pablo came through for us again this year with a small but professional group. It was super exhausting for Willie (and me too) and emotionally draining as well. Tuesday was so hard, they went long, it was 100 degrees out, and the warehouse took 45 minutes to unload the truck while cherries were boiling in the bins on the back of it. Yesterday we called it quits, with 103 bins total (about 32,000 pounds) which is approximately half the orchard. The rest of the fruit will hang on the trees and rot unless anyone comes to take them for free. We will pull the trees out this year and just mow grass from here on out. We have learned that growing...
