Two down... 24ish to go

Toni completed her second chemo week. This morning went well. We left at 6:30am, got to SCCA around 7am, Toni had her blood work done around 7:15, and by 9am we were getting ready to leave for home.

Pictures tomorrow.

This appears to be quite the predictable event now. For her CMF treatment (daily pill) and (weekly infusion), Toni will be spending around 3 hrs roundtrip each week. It is quite interesting. Toni's RN today was Vicki. She was very nice. The routine starts with an interview discussing how Toni is feeling, symptoms, and and other things going on. Then she gets a series of injections through the port hookup, and she is done. We have found the early morning Friday thing to be really nice for both our schedules.

It appears the only side effect from the infusions on Fridays is a headache, so far. Toni stays well hydrated and we try to keep her eating a little something here and there to help keep her stomach upset. So other than that... we are going to post the pictures tomorrow.
