Mom's chemo was postponed from Monday until today, which was a bit of a bumpy ride. But, yeah, now it's behind us! Mom did really well. . .mostly. She had a muscle spasm, an allergic reaction to the Taxol, that was sudden and very painful. They were able to give her meds to control that reaction, and she seemed to tolerate everything else very well. She snacked while she received the chemo & visited with people around us. It was not a bad day. Pray that her body tolerates this treatment remarkably well.
She will get a power port before her next chemo treatment (scheduled every three weeks). It will be put in while she is an outpatient at St. John's, using conscious sedation. The picc line will then be out, which is probably good since it carries a greater risk of infection.
Thank you for your prayers & support.
