First Chemo Treatment

I think yesterday went well--Jamie had a great attitude all day. She had labs in the morning, then went into the "infusion room" for her treatment.

The IV was put into her port (a small receptor that was surgically implanted in her upper chest last week); then she was given fluids for hydration, then some pre-meds to fight nausea, then two different chemo drugs.

The whole process took about 3 hours--we talked, watched part of a movie (127--really good), ate lunch, visited with other patients, and looked at a wig/hat/scarf catalog.

Jamie's dad came by to visit and offer support.

The staff at the cancer center is wonderful--made a scary/uncertain experience much better.

Jamie was feeling pretty good during the process. She started feeling really tired and nauseous in the evening, but had ginger gum and some anti-nausea medicine to help.

Our friend Beth and her son Alex brought us a wonderful dinner. Unfortunately, Jamie wasn't feeling like eating (but the boys and I loved it. Cash ate more fish than I did!)

Jamie seemed to sleep OK--she's still sleeping as I write this. We'll try to get another update out soon.

Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement!
