So back to work for Bryan (tomorrow) and Toni (today). It appears the chemo might be starting to have some effect on Toni; she is having stronger headaches and is a bit more on the queezy side. She also has some minor lymphodema in her right arm. Mostly this is a comfort thing, so she has asked for a referral to get some treatment. Toni is in good spirits though and did ok at work today. We tried to rest well this weekend, and hopefully that will get her through the week.
Allowed the kitty to spend some quality lap time with me today. I let him lick and rub on me a bit under the chin. Oh my, a bit of an error. See I am allergic to the kitty, but I was doing ok, so I thought, eh... let him do what he does to Toni. I soon discovered I was having a significant reation...like bumps all over my chin and and neck. Man, did I swell up. Good news is... the swelling has disappated, so I should be fine by morning.
Toni has a busy week ahead. She is going to visit with the radiologist tomorrow, mostly to discuss options. Then, on Friday, she marks the start of the half way point in the first "13 week session" of chemo. As this is the 6th week, she'll get the full monty on the blood work. That may or may not lead to some chemo tweaking.
She remains so very positive, and focused on getting better.
