Chemo #4 (aka The Big One) has been completed and my kid continues to amaze me. She was in great spirits yesterday both before and after the chemo injection. (Even asked that we stop at ''Donald's'' for a ''hangaburger'' on our way home.) And today, she is her usual happy go-lucky self. She slept well and has had her usual appetite. No complaints about a tummyache, just a steadfast refusal to take the ''yucky'' anti-nausea medicine. (I eventually convinced her.) So far, so good. And, we are one step closer to Week 6.
Our nurse seemed pleased that B's counts were so high yesterday, but warned us that if there was a week to feel miserable, this would be it. Besides nausea, we might also see some serious hair loss this week.
Are we sure that she has cancer? Are we sure the nurses aren't just giving her sugar water? She never seems to react adversely to anything. It's almost a little unsettling that she is doing so brillantly. By no means do we want to see our child sick, but it does make us wonder if she's immune to the chemo!
