Chemo Mondays...and Tuesdays

Well, it's that time again.  Chemotherapy treatment round two started this Monday.

What we originally thought was supposed to be a 24-hour deal is in reality a 36-hour (at least) process which includes registration, a doctor visit, bloodwork, and of course the 24-hour chemotherapy drip.  Whew.

It turns out there is a whole lot I didn't know about cancer--especially pancreatic cancer.  But, it's a learning process and I hope that the knowledge my family gains through this experience will allow us to help others in the future.

As for my mom, she rules!  Last week had its ups and downs as far as chemo effects go, but for the most part there was nothing unexpected.  This week's treatment went really well and I had the pleasure of spending the night with my Mom at the Sylvester Center as she went through the process.  We played word-find games, watched a lot of daytime TV, paid some bills, and went for some walks around the floor.  Here she is as we made our way up and down the halls of the center.  She looks pretty good, don't you think?
