Linda spent most of the day in chemo today...she held up really well...it usually takes a couple of days for the side effects to show up. We spent time with the Oncologist discussing the side effects in the first cycle and how things would be better this time with additional medications and help from the Internist Thursday. Linda is also coming back for a check up on Friday as that was when her blood pressure was dangerously low last time.
.
Linda wore her new socks to the infusion center,which say "BELIEVE"....her shirt as a gift from friend Judy said "BELIEVE"....friend and library head Beth created another prayer shawl which Lind wore today...with help like this, she was very prepaired to do well this round...thanks to you all.
Linda also took "goodies" to the infusion nurses....especially for liz who has been special and it was her birthday today.
My hypertention stated back up agan tonight...I am staying very calm and taking Ativan...it seems to be slowing down......slowly.......no trips to the ER if I can avoid it.

Linda,
I finally got your blog. My love prayers and thoughts are with you especially and with you family through all this.
Love Chris Plies
Linda, love those glasses and the socks! It is great that you are so proactive with your treatments. Knowledge is good.
Dave, Wow...do take care of yourself too. Being a caregiver can be a full time job.
Love, Kay and John
Wow. You two just have to go and make all of this even more dramatic, don't you? Take care of yourself, Dave, and try to keep calm. I know how extremely difficult it is when you're dealing with someone so close to you who's going through these sorts of treatments. You MUST take time for yourself, as well. It's vital.
I know the two of you will get through all of this together and with the help of all your friends and family. As difficult as it seems sometimes, you're both doing great.
My love to you both, as always.
