Tomorrow, Norma starts another round of chemo treatment. She'll have a treatment each day for five days. Last week, her test results showed that the chemo was effective because her "cancer marker" was lower than the week before. Lower is better in her case.
The good news is that she's not losing her hair this time around and she has very little nausea. She is however experiencing pain in her lower back and legs, another common side effect. She has to rest more and put her feet up. Difficult for Norma -- she likes to be on the go! My dad has to force her to take naps.
She didn't let any of this get in the way of participating in the Crock family campout at Lisa and Brian's house this past weekend. She was right in the thick of things...helping prepare dinner, making s'mores with the kids, stoking the fire and then she headed for bed...in the house!
