Hi Greg,
Glad that the first treatment is now behind you.
The unknown is the worst and it is never as bad as we have imagined. I understand the feeling of waiting for the big bangto occur. Hopefully you will be surprised to find a slight reaction or none at all. The new meds really do a wonderful job. So much so that you may consider to think you do not need them. DO NOT under any reason stop taking the meds. I made this silly mistake and it took a while to get hold again. Take the anit nauesa meds even if she feels 100%.
Remember to change her tooth brush often every 2 wks
to help avoid any mouth infections. No manicures either.
All good wishes,
Jean
