This last Wednesday Carolyn got her (miracle pills) this is the trial drug she'll be taking. She takes them every day. Early on Friday morning we drove in to Emory for her first chemo treatment. They push the drugs into her pretty fast, 3-4 hours, then they take blood draws at certain intervals the remaining 4 hours or so. All in all its a long day then fight Atlanta traffic home. Carolyn took the treatment relatively well, a couple waves of nausea which the nurses quickly took care of. So far she's doing quite well, the only side effect being a slight headache which is likely because of the steroids. I was a able to finally see the doc about my neck, within 2 days of steroids, anti inflamatories, muscle relaxants, etc., I'm remarkably better.
We're expecting our "2nd" winter storm, any where from 2-12" being predicted for tonight and tomorrow.
This coming Wednesday is another blood draw at Emory, then in 2 weeks the cycle starts again.
Carolyn's sister Sue made the quilt! keeps her warm while the nurses take blood on numerous occasions.
Just a test comment from me to see how this works !? :)
