Chemo 2

K's 2nd Oncology appt, blood work and chemo treatment were today.  A bit of a long day, but it went about as well as we could have hoped.  The blood work was fine and the physical exam indicates the two tumors are shrinking.  Also, the skin "rash" that is the symptom of the IBC seems to be clearing up.  Infected nodes under the arm are still enlarged but hopefully they are shrinking too.  Several hours for the infusions then headed home.  K had some Five Guys fries on the way and then napped for a bit.  She woke up feeling so well we did a 5 mile bike ride!  We ate great food tonight prepared by my sister Rosemary and mother Rose.  She's feeling kind of crappy now but still a very good day.  She was so positive and went through everything with her chin up.
