Chemo - Round 7

11 July, 2012

Things went smoothly today.. for the 1st time ever, Chris was called in early to start her treatment; we both laughed appreciating the small wins.

Susie popped into the clinic & we spent the time catching up & planning things to do on Chris’s 'good' weekends.

By the time I got Chris home from the clinic, the chemo had completely taken over & Chris just slept for the rest of the day.

This is such a horrible treatment..when she goes in for treatment, I think to myself 'goodbye (temporarily) my baby', because she is generally only back to her 'as best as she can be' self about 4 days prior to her next treatment. Then it’s treatment day again & I watch it take her away, again, for a good 8 to 9 days.  Then about 4 days prior to the next treatment, yay, she’s back, my gals back.. her eyes shine again & she has more energy & less nausea than the down days.

And honestly, with chemo, all we can do is remind ourselves that this is killing the cancer & that is the upside! So, we must keep that as our focus as we put another round behind us. Chris is on the count down now.. Hopefully, there are more cycles behind us, than in front...that is what we must stay focused on.
