Getting through the weekend

Carlene is doing OK. Her stomach has been a bit sensitive since Friday, but the anti-nausea medication is helping. Carlene received another Neulasta injection yesterday to help with the generation of white blood cells. Thank God, she has so far escaped the side effect of bone pain, which is a common occurrence after an injection. She didn't sleep well last night. She thinks it's due to the steroids. They are part of the chemo regimen, taken the day before, the day of, and the day after the infusion. We went for a three mile walk this morning at Cottonwood Creek Park, one of our favorite places. It's amazing how many walks we've taken there over the years, talking about how hopes, dreams, and fears. We're going to try to walk our way through this ordeal as well. Mac and cheese sounded good to her tonight, so that was the menu. It tasted great to her, and me too. We've been relaxing at home tonight, watching a recorded Hallmark movie. I think Carlene will get over the nausea over the next few days; that's what happened during the last cycle. The chemo doc told us that Carlene's experience during the first cycle can be indicative of what she can expect during the entire treatment plan. Let's pray that is the case. Thanks for your prayers, cards, emails, calls, and kind comments on this site. We love you all. God Bless You.
