We didn't get her home today..... [View all]

.....since Carol will be doing another chemo next Thursday, they wanted to give her a unit of blood to help build her strength up before next week. She really wasn't that disappointed because she knows she is still weak. One more day isn't that bad if it will give her a leg up on the next treatment. She is able to go to the potty on her own now, so she is getting stronger.

How hard does the second treatment hit you? You know, she had her first just a couple of days after the radiation was completed, so I figured that was a double hit that she had, and it hit her hard. I'm hoping the second doesn't knock her down so hard.
