Round 2!

Feel like we're in a boxing match here.... Anyway we started Round 2 yesterday. So far, alles gut! The chemo went well and the red Kool-Aid (Adriamycin) wasn't as scary as last time. Linda's port is working well for administering the meds.

This time, we get a blood test before the chemo starts to make sure things look okay. Linda's counts were mostly good but she was slightly anemic. This may be due to the pregnancy plus the chemo. It wasn't bad enough to delay the chemo or require additional boosts yet but we do need to try to get some more iron in Linda's diet for the next couple weeks since we don't want her counts to get lower.

Linda has been feeling a bit off but otherwise okay and we did our walks last night and this morning. She had her acupuncture routine before chemo and has the next part this morning. This afternoon she gets her Neulasta shot (booster) and then most people feel flu-like for the following few days.

We're leaving for the "Resort at the Mountain" for a couple nights where there is a family gathering. Linda will be playing it by ear on how much she engages during this trip since she may be a bit worn out (worn out for her is normal for me!). It is a beautiful place and should also be a bit cooler than here in the valley as we may see triple digits this weekend!
