Chemo #2... sorry so late!

This past Monday, mom received her second dose of chemo. Luckily, the iron injections she has been getting, raised her blood levels, which means she will not need the blood transfusions! Aunt Geri and Celina went with her to her treatment which lasts about 5 hours. Everything went well but this time around, mom was more sick. Right after her treatment, she felt weak and sore. All week, she has been feeling very nauseous and she has lost her appetite off and on too, which are new symptoms, compared to the last treatment. Today she looks good, but her spirits are quite low about her hair... about a week ago, she started losing it and she is having a hard time with that. It is almost completely gone now. She says this is the hardest part for her, but we have bought her many wraps, scarves, beanies and a beautiful wig that she has started wearing. If you didn't know it was a wig, you wouldn't even be able to tell. She did well and looked amazing during Christmas and hung in there, but we could tell she was not feeling well. She is still being very strong and we all look up to her for her strength and courage during this time.
