Day 5 after the first round of chemo...

The 4th day after chemo is supposed to be the peak for the effects of the drug and after that, the she should be feeling the effects less.

The good news is that the effects were mild and manageable.  She only had minor symptoms of neuropathy in her feet and one leg... not pleasant, but it could have been a lot worse.  Today, the leg is not bothering her and the feelings in her feet was noticeably less.

We also had family over and that did a lot to improve her spirits.  She joined us for meals, ate more, and was generally more active during their visit.  

Her sister and niece are coming for a visit this weekend, so we have that to look forward to also.

Only 2 doctor visits on the calendar this week, and I for one am glad for the lighter schedule. 

The new meds are helping and we are hoping to get an additional prescription this week to assist the chemo in fighting the cancer.

​All for now.
