Daryl completed treatment #3 last week. He is staring to feel some of the side effects from the Immunotherapy (Optdivo). Mostly extreme fatigue and dizziness. These have resulted in a few moments of “man down”. He will feel okay as he gets up, and then can quickly can go right back down. As a result, we have instituted a new rule at Casa de Lu. Daryl cannot get up without supervision or aid of a crutch. Vern Lu is keeping ever vigilant, especially on the night shift!
I had a brief overnight travel this past week. Due to the recent side effects it was not safe to leave Daryl alone, even for one night. Marsha a good friend, and previous ICU nurse, graciously came again to be with Daryl. She has kept the routine going and made sure he was well taken care of! She also sends me updates of pictures and texts, which is very comforting. Marsha has been a true angel to help us out!
Daryl had a nice surprise gift from the Dodgers! A jersey signed by all the current Dodgers and a hand written note from Rick Honeycutt. Thank you to Doug Lu for arranging this great surprise. It brought that big smile to his face! ( see above)
They have told us things will get worse before they get better. Daryl has been having more trouble swallowing and a lot more pain. We know this is all part of Gods plan and know that all your prayers and thoughts are giving us strength!
Love Daryl and Charlotte
