One Down ... Three To Go

Hope received her first round of chemo today ~ after an orientation/education session, they began the drip about 2:30. Two drugs were administered via a metered IV, each lasting about one hour. They gave her Benadryl (or something similar) before this process began, so she was a bit sleepy.

She will have a total of 4 rounds, approximately 21 days apart ~ because of a scheduled trip, her next round will be July 21st. Luckily, she did not have an allergic reaction to the drugs and did not feel ill today. They learned in the educational video that the worst of the effects will begin 7 to 14 days after the initial round.

Keep Hope in your thoughts and prayers ...
