And so it begins. Cara got her first chemo treatment this morning, lasting just over an hour and consisting of three drugs administered through her shiny new Picc Line, like a long term IV. The good news is that she only has to endure 8 weeks of treatment instead of 12. The bad news is she had to buy one of those pill organizers since she has so many meds to keep track of, seriously one to counteract every possible side-effect.
Overall, 8 hours in, she's doing spectacular. She hasn't had any nausea, and she just feels a little sickly and tired. She has been up and around, holding Sadie a little and watching a movie, even eating a tuna sandwich a while ago. I'm amazed that she's done so well, but really, I should have expected it considering how strong she is and how many people are praying!
