It was a slow start to chemo today. We needed some answers from a doctor regarding side effects. After seeing him, we went on as planned. 100% dose. 

Tom was with me. I needed him there as I was shaky. I thought I'd pass out after the port poke. But I managed to keep it together after a quick sit down. 

Babu has been mostly with me at chemo through this run, and I remembered why. It was a huge relief to have Tom's love and energy with me, but I can also see the pain and hell on his face as he watches everything. I try to keep him from that, mostly, but now and again I just need to hold his hand. He's more than willing to come, but I think switching between Mom and him is better for all of us. 

I got nauseated quite quickly and was given an Ativan, which kind of has me loopy right now. 

Here's a picture I took on a walk with the family. It makes me feel hope. Beauty does that.

 
 
 

Good night!
