Halfway There!

Chemo went well today. Mom is such a trooper!  Yesterday, Oncology was extremely busy but today was just a smidgen better, only a couple of times were all the chairs filled.  After the last two rounds, we realized that it takes about six hours which is exactly how long today took from start to finish.  Mom slept through much of it while watching dvd reruns of Murder She Wrote. Seeing her resting just made me smile. There are two rooms with recliners for chemo patients and this time we were in the big room with about nine chairs.  At one point eight of the chairs held oncology patients and everyone but the lady next to Mom was sleeping. It was a bittersweet momemt - sad but soothing to witness so many people seeking rest while fighting their battles.  Today marks the halfway point for Mom, three of the six rounds of chemo are done!  She is doing well with nausea but we are being very proactive with it by using all three anti-nausea drugs she's been prescribed.

Please pray that the nausea stays away for tonight and the next couple of days for sure.
