No News is Good News

V. has been home for two weeks now. The first week rough due to a medication that was causing constant, exteme nausea. Fortunately her blood counts came up enough that she could discontinue that medication. Since then she's been growing in physical stamina and emotional strength every day.

V. will be referred to a specialist at UCSF who will help decide which chemo regimine to do next. Her oncologist is not in a big hurry to start the next batch of chemo, but would rather do it sooner than later. V. is ready to go for it, hoping not to be quite so ill this time since she's starting out stronger than the last time. She said that the sooner she does this, the sooner she can get on with her life, which I think is a good way to think of it.
