10/16/2012
I had the second round of chemo on Friday and everything went really well. They gave me a new anti-nausea medication called Emend, which the nurse referred to as "the big guns". Plus, we adjusted some of my other medication and this time around has been so much better than the first. So that has been a huge relief! I still have some nausea, tiredness, and other side effects, but it is much more manageable. I had an appointment with Dr. Jones today, everything is looking good. He hopes to take out the last stitch from my incision next week and possibly start filling the expanders in November. I also had an appointment with Dr. Mammolito and everything looks good, my range of motion is great, and I don't have to see her again for four months, yay. The next round of chemo is scheduled for Nov 2nd, hopefully we'll be able to stay on schedule and be half way done! Thank you for all of the prayers, thoughts, kindness, and love sent our way....it helps me know I will get through this and helps me stay strong.
