As the nausea and vomiting continued, Denise had to return to the infusion center on Wednesday and receive an IV for hydration and more anti-nausea meds. Thankfully, this infusion perked her up and got her leveled off to be able to eat a good dinner and sleep. The infusion nurses says this is very common for patients to return for hydration--chemo meds are very dehydrating.
Thursday, she received the last treatment of cycle 2! The treatment was very uncomfortable but she handled it well. She's looking forward to almost 2 weeks before starting cycle 3. She will see her oncologist on January 26th and treatments schedule for January 27th and 28th. Denise's team of chemo therapy providers will meet prior to her doctor's appointment and look at revising her meds and therapy so hopefully the regiment will have less side effects.
Denise was able to walk 1/4 mile yesterday--the first she has walked in several days. We look forward to some sunshine today hopefully and a longer walk.

Hi Denise,
I just want you know that I am inspired by your strength and courage during this difficult time of your life. The challenges you are faced with during each of these chemo cycles is more than any one person should have to endure, but you are such a trooper! You are mentioned in my prayers each and every night when I retire from my day. Please remember that there are so many of us that are out here who are continuing to send our positive energies your direction.
Glad to hear the trip to the infusion center was such a success (sleep = good! not feeling nauseated = awesome!) Hugs and kisses.
