Chemo #2 -- six to go

At 7 AM we got up to go to Chemo -- talk about two sleepy people! :-)

Everything seemed to go well for Tracey -- I was lucky and took advantage of one of the "private" rooms in the Chemo area and crashed for three hours. Tracey had a visit from Heather and made new friends with several chemo patients and their families.

We met a beautiful lady, now 80, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Her mastectomy did not go very well, and she had to wait for her complications to clear up before she could start chemo. She was there with her daughter (also a breast cancer survivor) and her husband of 62 years! He is also a cancer survivor!

I spoke with Tracey around 9 PM and she got sick to her stomach again -- darn it! It did take longer this time, but still happened. In the words of a famous philosopher: THIS SUCKS! :-(

It is almost 1 AM and I am very tired -- and still at work! :-| Not much longer before I head home, so I will close for now.
