Mike and Cheryl and their family are on vacation in Destin, FL, this week, and he has begun posting the pictures to his Flickr site. He's getting some excellent pictures, and the girls have already begun to strike poses like real models. I'm really enjoying seeing the vacation in almost real time. Hope you enjoy them too.
Tonight I spoke with Betty, Carole's sister, because Carole was at a church function when I called. She said that the first chemotherapy treatment took about 2 hours and seemed to go by without incident. The chemo had some medication in it to prevent nausea, and Carole was given some additional medication that she would take every twelve hours to help to suppress the nausea in the future. So far, she hasn't experienced any adverse effects from the treatment.
Today Carole goes in for her first of 16 chemotherapy sessions. Her sister, Betty, has come up to visit and will accompany her to the treatment. I don't know how quickly the side-effects of such treatment appear, but it is one of those things that has to be done no matter what the side-effects if one is to conquer the disease, so Carole is approaching it eagerly and with optimism. We've both wondered whether her legendary appetite will suffer as is common with chemotherapy. If anyone's can, her's will, I'm sure.
