Third Day

It's Third Day. The third day after Mary receives Chemo is usually the worst. While she is not sick she is very, very tired. She will sleep off and on all day long. This is the day the "happy juice" starts to wear off. That is all the anti-nausea and anti-pain medicines they put in her before they start the actual chemo. They take two to three hours just to put this stuff in her. Then they start the chemo. So she's tired and she's sleeping. This is still better than the chemo treatments she received in 2000. I have never seen anyone so violently ill as she was then. Thank God for modern medicine.
