First IP Chemo Therapy Treatment

Denise had her first IP chemo therapy treatment and handled it very well.  We were there almost 8 hours from start to finish.  Her sensation or pain is similar to pre-op when she had the tumor which will diminish over the next few days as the fluid is absorbed by her system.  She had a total of 2 liters of fluid put in her abdomen (1 liter saline and 1 liter chemo). 

Now a few days of rest and recuperation and hopefully little side effects.  Her next treatment of this same procedure will be next Thursday.

Glad there were no reactions, one huge step in the process! Hope the next few days aren't too ruff (vet humor).

Hang in there! Glad the first day went well!
