Chemo #5

Chemo #5 started today, and it was not a good start. Tracey felt very dizzy at one point during the session and she had to lay down (a first for her) in order to recover. The new medication can produce a serious allergic reaction with some patients, so they had to test it on Tracey first, then give her the full dose after they determined that she was OK with it. Our friend Shelley was kind enough to bring Tracey lunch (I was at work).

Today is the first day we have had to do Chemo while we are apart. My partner (Ben) is in training all week, so I am working the day shift. I dropped Tracey at the hospital at 9 AM and then picked her up after Chemo. Although she is doing OK with the nasuea, etc., the aching/pain is pretty bad.
