Round 5 Day 1 completed

One day down and I'm getting ready for the next treatment with my prehydration. Amidst N V and D, I also did a lot of sleeping yesterday... This morning Christian and I woke up early and I was able to get on the treadmill for about 24 minutes, while I'm still feeling ok.
4 more days to go...

Round 5 started and lots of good news to carry you throught the N V & D. I was so happy to hear that you are progressing so well! And you are still posting entries and still getting on the treadmill. You are amazing!!! And the wig is such a new and fun look. Thinking about you and Christian and your family. Maggie
