Chemo Treatment #2 starts today, August 21, 2006. While the first treatment resulted in some bad days, it was nothing like we had anticipated. Today Valerie asked Dr. Barstis if he was sure she was getting "hit" with a hard enough dose, or was there more he could be doing. His reply was "No, trust me, you are getting hit as hard as we can." He did say that while the first round may not have been bad, be prepared because typically the symptoms will become more pronounced later in the treatments. Oh well, so much for hoping it was going to be as easy as the first one!
