This week has been a long one for our favorite Snail. She has had a massive round of chemo that wraps up tomorrow at 10 am and has had so many ups and downs I am sure she would be dizzy even if she was not already from massive medication. This round of chemo is more powerful than the last and can have eye, brain and muscle side effects which was apparent from the major back spasms she was having yesterday. Finally she was given pain meds to make them tolerable and then of course she got a rash again from the meds, just as she got rid of the other one. Tomorrow morning will be a celebration of finishing this round and heading into remission again. Go Snail!
A sunny part of her week: You may remember Valerie gave away all of her flowers last month to people that did not have support systems (that's us) like she has. Well, the nurses did not forget this and brought Valerie a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers to brighten her room! (She is allowed to have them right now but who knows for how long.) What goes around certainly comes around!
