Today, Sherrie starts Round 2 of her chemotherapy treatment. It's about 5:00 p.m. and we are in the Ambulatory Treatment Center, getting hooked up to the IV.
We drove into Houston around 1 p.m. and met with the nutritionist, the research nurse, and the doctor; then blood was drawn, prescriptions were dropped off, and forms picked up.
So far, she has been doing great. She needs one of those silk boxer robes that says "Champ" on the back. The main side effect she's had has resulted in a short 'do with rockin' highlights! The other side effect has been a little trouble on the digestive side of things - but other than that, there's been almost no nausea, pain, or anything else!
She'll fly back home tomorrow evening, and continue her regimen of poppin' pills.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers. The research nurse did say that the side effects are "cumulative" so they may get worse as the treatment progresses. Hopefully, they'll continue to stay at a minimum!
Also, say a quick prayer for my grandmother, Memaw. She was hospitalized late last week for an irregular heartbeat. Right now, as we are sitting in Houston, she's in Abilene having a pacemaker "installed" to help mitigate that and keep her going like she always goes.
