Mom and Chemo Round #2

So my mom went to start chemo round #2 on the 4th of August - we were on vacation, so my dad took her down for the treatment.  She gets infused with 2 hours of meds at the hospital, then gets to take home 48 hours worth in a bottle that is attatched to her.  Luckily my aunt vicki is helping her out by disconnecting the meds when it's time.  She faired pretty well after this first dose.  She felt "good" and not much had changed healthwise. 

This treatment is given every other week, so we headed down to Fox Chase on August 19th for dose #2.  We waited for a bit to get the blood results, to find out her platelette and white blood cell counts were low, so no chemo that day. 

She is scheduled to go back and meet with the docs on the 25th (this thursday) and if all looks ok, then she will have her treatment then. 
Please continue to keep my mom in your prayers.
