Third Chemo Treatment Complete!

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I want to thank everyone who sent Kimmy messages, wore pink and posted pictures and just sent good thoughts and wishes to her and the family. It's always appreciated!!

I had the chance to take her to her chemo appointment today. Although I wasn't able to stay for the entire session, I did get a chance to see where her treatments are given, I was able to meet some of the staff and ask questions as the iv line was being inserted into the portocath. The entire process was interesting and the staff so very nice and helpful. Kimmy told me that her "Chemo buddy" had a reaction to the treatment today. She turned very red in the face and got very hot. Kimmy said the staff moved very fast and stopped the chemo treatment, introduced benedryl to her iv line and once her color became normal, they restarted the chemo treatment but at a slower pace. Situation under control, Kimmy said they went back to talking the rest of time.

After I picked her up, we went to Frye's (it's a grocery store here in Goodyear) to do some shopping, watched movies (I brought alot of our favorites to watch), went to pick up Nathan and came back home and started dinner. She took compazine prior to dinner so I'm not expecting her to stay up much longer.

She looks good, her attitude is incredible. She's such a fighter. She laughs (or should I say she laughs at me) and jokes alot. It's great to be out here with her, Duane and the kids.

OH! Before I sign off, there was one funny moment in the waiting room before Kimmy was called back for her treatment. I noticed my husband, Steve, had posted a picture with his new shirt on. It reads, "Don't let Breast Cancer steal second base". I had told Kimmy about it before but she really never said anything about it. Then when she saw the picture of my husband in his shirt she busted out laughing and said, "OH MY GAWD! I just got what the shirt meant". I just stared at her and started laughing and a lady that was sitting across from us, who was listening and watching us started laughing also... it was a great way to start the treatment.. on a very light hearted note.
