Day 2 after Chemo at 8 AM and feeling great! No real noticeable side effects as of yet (let's keep hoping there are none!) Valerie says she woke up shaking last night (went away quickly and was very minor) and feels tired late this afternoon, but overall feeling pretty good! Saw Dr. Watson today to discuss the implants. Turns out he will only "inflate" them every two weeks, but only on the off week for Chemo so her white blood cell count will be higher than on the week she gets Chemo. She is also being given shots of Neulasta each day after Chemo to help elevate her white blood cell count (the ones you need to fight off infection). In addition she choose to shave her head today....read more about that above!
