2nd Round of newest Chemo

It's been awhile since we have updated.. Which is actually great because usually "no news" is good news. In this case it is. Mom did really well with the first round. It was no picnic in the park but she was mostly fatigued, sleeping a better part of 18 hours every day for a good week or so. As far as potential side effects I think we will take this one! She had a 2nd round last thursday the 21st of January. She is set to have another on Feb 11 and then do another CT scan to see how well this treatment is working.

Side Effects with new Chemo Drug

Mom is feeling very tired with this drug. She has also felt nauseous. She has to eat or she gets sick. Mom says knowing that is half the battle. She had an uneventful New Years with Dad at home. She has been sleeping quite a bit. Last night she wasn't feeling very well so she went to bed at 6pm woke up today at noon, showered dressed and went back to sleep until 3pm. She said the bed just looked so inviting. It's good she is getting the rest she needs. Dad takes good care of her! Since this is the first round with this new drug we don't really know how long she will feel so exhausted. But with 3 weeks in between treatments we are hopeful that she will have more good days than bad.
