It's 3pm and Jessica and I are still at the Chemo Center. We have been here since 8:30. In just a bit they will be done administering the the mix of medications and then hook her up to the pump with 5FU until Saturday. Right now, she is listening to a meditation on the iPod and has slipped off into sleep.
Her doctor is pleased with her progress. We told him that she gets fevers the second night of treatment and he seemed intrigued. He said that is not the norm, since her white blood count would still be good. He said that the chemo is killing the cancer which is releasing poisons into her body and likely causing the fever. Of course, we loved the words "the chemo is killing the cancer!" I think we will both take the fever as a good sign if it happens again tomorrow night!
