Half way...for real this time - posted by Pierre

OK. I know we said it before. But this time it's for real. It's chemo #6 today, and that officially makes it the halfway point. Hooray?!?

It was a tougher week last week. Laura's arm was extremely sore for many days. This is a common side effect of the chemo (on the arm the IV goes in). She's experienced it being sore before, but last week it was quite intense. Alot of cold packs were the order of the day (and night), which seemed to help a bit. It's a wonder that the cold packs do more than the Tylenol! Luckily it had lessened by this week and allowed her a few good nights sleep.

Tomorrow is our Valentine's event that we are speaking at. Usually the day after chemo is Laura's best day, so we are praying that this holds true this time as well so we can have a good night. Then, that should be the last of any big planning for awhile and I know that we are looking forward the break!
