2nd round of Chemo

Chemo #2

Becky was her nurse today. She was a bit rough with cleaning around the port so my mom was nervous that she was going to hurt her while putting the needle in.  Luckily, she said it was only like a small bee sting.   

My Dad sat with her the whole time due to me having a sore throat that morning and needing to get my kids to different places. 

No problems with the treatment and off she left with "Sherry" along with her. This time her calf muscles hurt a bit and she had a metallic taste when she ate. So along with the pins and needles she has a bad taste.  Who would want to eat or drink with all of that?? Well she persevered and continued to do both. We visited for a bit in the evening and played a game.

Metallic taste has gone away mostly and her calves are feeling better. My Dad went to work today for the first time and my mom did well resting.  We played some games and she watched the video that we made for her. She did a good ole belly laugh and that was so nice to see and hear. 

June 21st

She has been tired, she did not sleep well last night. We did not visit today just to let her rest. She went at 1pm and returned "Sherry". She had lost 1/2 a pound again and that really want her to try hard to not lose that much each visit. They went grocery shopping after getting the chemo removed and she was very tired from that small outing.  My dad went to work again today and I think that has been good for him.

So far it seems that the same cycle as before is happening. Today and tomorrow were her hardest days with the first chemo.   She's a fighter though and tough as nails.  

June 22-23 We enjoyed visits and playing games. She has a dr. appointment on Monday with Dr. Verra GI specialist about the drain /stent.
