BREAKING NEWS
DAY THREE...
Day Three was actually yesterday-- and Nancy sailed through it with flying colors. Some uncomfortable swelling due to medication side effects and heavy intake of fluids (she thinks she looks like a blimp, we think she looks youthful) and a little bit of nausea-- but otherwise, amazing. Plus, she got a visit from all three of our kids, which definitely boosted her spirits.
DAY FOUR...
And today is the fourth and final day of her radiation protocol, with 11 high dose treatments total. But just to show them who's boss-- she rejected the wheelchair attendant's offer to give her a ride to Radiology-- choosing to make the 10 minute walk from one building to the next on her own, dragging a family photo decorated IV stand along with her. Such a badass.
So for the rest of the day, she's probably gonna take it easy... because tomorrow promises to be very challenging. Nancy is scheduled to receive a four hour chemotherapy treatment that by all accounts, will be much more intense than any others she's previously experienced.
In other words, if you have any additional good thoughts, vibes, and prayers to spare this weekend-- we'll gratefully accept them.
ALL HAIL THE SUNSHINY SUPERWARRIOR GODDESS!
WE LOVE NANCY, and...
ALL IS WELL!
I love that Zingo is getting more play time on the IV stand than anyone else! Dog's life! Praying! Vibing! Thinking of you all! Much love and strength your way!
