After the Shot

 This treatment has gone really well so far. Melissa did really good Tuesday night. She had a headache right after treatment and it carried on through the night and lasted all day yesterday. Hopefully it will be gone today or at least better. She was able to get her fluids yesterday morning before she went in for her Neulasta shot. This treatment has seemed not to have as much nausea with it, thank goodness. The nausea pill she has have been working(compazene).  She has some bone pain tonight in her knees and jaw but not as bad as last time. The doc reduced the Neulasta dose by 1/3 so hopefully this side effect will not last as long. She has been having hot flashes (side effect of the chemo induced menopause) and a racing heart from the steroids she is still taking daily. Over all she has been really chipper with the idea that she is done with last round of these chemo drugs and is half way done with the treatments. She would like to thank everyone for the prayers, cards, and help with meals. -Tyler

Melissa told me yesterday that she has been achy from the shot and she is having nausea but the medicine keeps her from throwing up as much.
