Chemo 2

It was a great weekend, M's 60th, plus beloved alt-daughter Tamryn's 30th. Celebrating the generations.

Maryse, now bald and getting into tying ornate turbans, was impatient to get going this morning. But strange feeling for me to drop her off at the oncology clinic, like dropping her  shopping or at the airport. "See ya later", as they inject the drug to relax her before starting to drip heavy metals into her system for six hours. Odd.

We are told that side-effects wary and are unpredictable. Better, worse, nausea, no nausea, other stuff... Back into the vast unknown Maryse and I go. AND, life goes on. I am still cleaning up after our little, so-called intimate 'come for drinks' evnt turned into a major party. NOT intended to scale up like that, but wonderful with heartfelt birthday tributes from friends. Thanks.
