A more typical chemo experience

The chemo on Weds. went smoothly. It took about 2 hours to pour in various drugs into Carolin's arm and then we were free to go. Almost right away Carolin was tired. She had been working full time and it was wearing her out. By 4 PM she was looking for a bed to lie down in.

The night was bad. Lots of nausea and a bad taste in her mouth but Thurs started early and off she went to work. That doesn't mean she liked it. Her long face hit the pillow about 7 that night. It was a very different experience from the first time. Now it's a lot clearer why people dread chemo. Friday is her last day of work and she hopes to be home and horizontal by noon.
