Chemo #2, done.

Grabbing some pre-chemo breakfast

Sorry for the long delay in between posts, but there hasn't been much to report other than a rash that has been slowly clearing up.  Today we did our second round of chemo, all in one day this time.  Everything went as expected with no ill side effects to report.

On the positive news front, Holly's white blood cell count has made a roaring comeback and is in the normal range.  It is still lower than it was prior to first session, but that was expected.  The staff was pleased to see her numbers looking well.

On the negative, the hair loss has started in full force last week, and we've been trimming it today.  Holly's obviously very sad to see her hair thinning so much, but as my brother said, you have to think of each hair that leaves as a cancer cell that dies.  Though, that's small consolation to the person losing their hair.

Chemo Session #2

Later this week is the PET scan and we get to see how well the treatment is doing against the cancer.  We've got our fingers crossed for positive progress.  The nurse was optimistic, saying that lymphoma reacts very well to this kind of treatment.

Oh, and since her immunity is stronger, at her request, we are celebrating by going to get dinner at Thai Siam, our favorite Thai place.
