Conquering chemo~


So it took a lot of crying and convincing between yesterday and today, but I'm happy to say we made it to chemo #24 this afternoon...
First couple hours were rough because she had pretty bad nausea and was throwing up. But once they got it under control everything started to look better.
Weighed in a 1lb heavier then 2 weeks ago and was told by her palliative team how great she looks, which I could tell immediately made her feel more optimistic.
Brought in backup ;-) And so glad I did she was great in helping keep everything light & bright.



4 hours later, Was kind of bummed when we came out and found this...
And ended up having to drive 20 mph on the express way all the way home.

An hour and a half later we were sitting getting pedicures and massages and  trying to forget the past couple of days..




In the end we cried, we laughed, we conquered the day, And every day conquered is a good day..

    Hi,

    Healthline just designed a virtual guide of the effects of chemotherapy on the body. You can see the infographic here: http://www.healthline.com/health/cancer/effects-on-body

    This is valuable med-reviewed information that can help a person understand the side effects they are experiencing from their chemo treatment. I thought this would be of interest to your audience, and I’m writing to see if you would include this as a resource on your page: http://myshiraamira.blogspot.com/2014/02/conquering-chemo.html

    If you do not believe this would be a good fit for a resource on your site, even sharing this on your social communities would be a great alternative to help get the word out.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to review. Please let me know your thoughts and if I can answer any questions for you.

    All the best,
