9/25 - The Third Stage

Kristine is back in chemotherapy this week. It is the first of four cycles that she'll undergo lasting through the end of the year. The first two days have been a little tough on her. She has been sleeping for most of the day. She woke up this evening thinking it was Wednesday. Toward the end of her last set of cycles it was almost as if she had built up some immunity to all the medication. This was clearly a short term effect, which is probably for the best since this isn't the kind of thing that anyone should get used to.

The cycles are a little longer this time (5 days instead of 4) and the chemo drugs while fewer are less intense. Kristine's mom is in town for this cycle. It is always a big help to have her here. This is especially so this cycle since I am working through the week.

I'll keep you updated on Kristine's progress.
