So Far So Good
We're 2.5 days into chemo therapy and radiation and all is well. The first night of chemo was rough, with Jill up in the middle of the night with some nausea which lasted a few hours. Last night she didn't have that problem and was able to sleep through most of the night. She continues to do her bike trainer and aqua jogging sessions without any problems and it's been 2 days since she's taken any pain killers which is remarkable. I think that the hardest part for me is trying to catch up on sleep. It's so easy to loose sleep, yet so hard to make it up.
The chemo therapy is in a pill form which blows me away thinking that it is something that is self administered. That is such a change from having a doctor or nurse change out an IV bag every so often. I never thought that something like chemo therapy would be similar to a prescription drug.
We're both looking forward to getting back to Flagstaff for the weekend and out of this hot weather.

You go girl! We're on the sidelines watching this marathon and know you're going to make it past the final hill with no problems - the winner and champion - Jill Camirand!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Flagstaff but there must be something in the water or the air that creates "superfolks". Have a wonderful week end and enjoy the coolth of northern Arizona.
ReplyDeleteJill, you are amazing. Enough said.
