Mom is not doing well today. Her second round of Chemotherapy started last Tuesday and has hit her very hard. She is quite tired and very nauseous. Not answering the phone.
She had a Brain MRI with contrast (they shoot dye into your system) on Friday which she barely made it through. We won't have results until next week. She is also scheduled for a full chest PET/CT scan, but I think we will have to postpone until she starts to feel a little better.
This is all par for the course with the chemo. They say you are fine the first few days and then feel crappy for about a week and then better after about 10 days. So, today is day 5 - probably won't be on the upswing until Thursday.
The nausea is new and no fun at all. They have given her compazine which seems to help a lot, but she is not eating anything.
Please keep us in your prayers.
