Weekly Update - Chemotherapy Side Effects

A quick post just to let everyone know how Mom is doing. She completed her 1st chemotherapy treatment on Wednesday mid-day. Although she was glad to get rid of the fanny pack on Wednesday, it wasn't too bad. She was able to sleep pretty good with it and didn't have too much trouble with showers as it is air-packed & covered. The side effects are just as they described. Mom was really tired Tuesday & it got worse on Wednesday/Thursday...Friday & Saturday were better days she said. She is sensitive to cold - hands and even drinking cold drinks. She said it feels like she has a sore throat so she is drinking room temparture water, etc. As I'm sure everyone is waiting for Spring, we should hope for some warmer weather soon so the cold to her hands/feet will go un-noticed (except for the freezer/fridge - which she needs to wear gloves). She should have a better week going into this week as her next treatment is March 23rd. Alexis, Justice & I will be heading to Nebraska on March 21st and will be there for Mom's 2nd treatment. Alexis has Spring Break so the kids are looking forward to spending sometime w/ the grandparents, Tara, Travis, & Tyler.
