We made it home yesterday afternoon and Lisa mostly rested between naps sleeping off the medication.  She actually felt pretty well until around 3am when she woke up in pain, but it was cancer-type pain rather than in the areas associated with yesterday's procedure, and the pain level went up and down through the time as I write this at 8am.

We will be leaving for the cancer center in a few minutes to meet with the doctor, scheduled for three days in a row of chemo treatment.  I don't know if he'll want to administer it if he sees her feeling as poorly as she does now before it starts, but he may anyway, since she's depending on it for tumor control and the tumor growth -- even though halted now -- was substantial preceding this current chemo mix and that's why she's in pain so often.

-------------------------

At the cancer center, the oncologist decided that Lisa wasn't recovered enough from the surgery to take chemo.  The radiologist-surgeon yesterday had been somewhat surprised that Lisa was scheduled for chemo the very next day, so this isn't too unexpected.  Because this chemo must be given three days in a row, she is scheduled to see the oncologist again on Tuesday next week and start the chemo then.  Meanwhile, she has slept most of the day today, with periods of feeling poorly when she wakes up but most of the non-sleep time she's been doing just fine.

The doctor also prescribed an extended-release type of pain med that Lisa can use to "keep the edge off" all the time, and use the regular version of that pain medication as-needed.  She hasn't tried it yet...  she's still using the regular version alone.
