I'm married to a 5ft 5inch, 120lb warrior. She handled her second chemo treatment with aplomb. We are in a post-infusion routine: we head straight for the mall (hopefully to a park real soon if the weather will ever cooperate) for a walk of a couple of miles, then to dinner at Outback. Before this started, I had a mental picture of rushing Carlene home after the infusion, puke bag at the ready, and putting her straight to bed. But it sure isn't working out that way. We hope the next few days aren't any worse than they were last time. Kevin was able to drive down from Littleton to be with us during the treatment. Kristin wasn't able to make it today. Kristin, Andy and Jackson just got back from Florida last night, so she was busy catching up today. Kristin ran a half-marathon through the Disney World property while they were there.
All in all, Carlene and I are pleased with how the treatments are going so far. We're trying to slice and dice the process into digestible pieces. She's now 1/3 done!! Only 12 weeks left until the last treatment, if she can stay on schedule. The chemo nurse said her white cell count is great. By the way, the chemo nurses are great. That is a calling, not a job.
