7 to go...

I am feeling crappy, so this will probably be short, but in spite of puking, I'm incredibly excited to have one over with. I started feeling sick last night I think just with everything going on this week, and was still feeling a little sick this morning. So Mo the amazing puker puked the first time before I even had chemo in me (about 9). The anti-nausea that they gave me through the purple port helped for a while. While the chemo went in it was totally fine. The Adriamycin was red, and made me pee red, glad they warned me of that one, and the nurse put it in which took about 15 minutes. The next one was dripped in and took about half an hour. The port is great, no pain, didn't feel it going in, nothing. I then went to acupuncture. This felt nice, but I started puking right after. I tried an anti-nausea at one, got sick again when I got home. Brent called the doctor, and is at Safeway getting anti-nausea #2. I think I'd still rather take this than cancer. Maybe we'll figure out the nausea thing, maybe we won't, but I can puke for a couple days if it means no cancer!! Love you

Mo . . . close your eyes and FEEL THE POWER OF THE PINK!!! Today at Tillamook High School, almost 300 students were wearing pink in honor of you!!! Those teckie teenagers sent a "text chain letter" last night talking about you having your first chemo today and asking everyone to wear pink to school (they spelled it kemo . . . heck, I didn't even care - I teach MATH!). Obviously my make-up for the day was Tammy Faye Baker-ish but it was super cool. And, yes, I love my job!

Hi you two! You are doing the right thing>>keep calling the Drs until you get the right anti nausea meds! Even if you have to be admitted and have an IV anti nausea! This will get old and everyone involved needs to get on top of it!
I even got the text message from the high schoolers about you and your "KEMO"! Go figure that one! You are being loved around the world!
LOVe you here too!

Hang in there Mo! I'm glad you're one treatment down - hopefully they find the anti-nausea meds that work quickly! Love you!
