spewing --------> Chemotherapy
Colleen is at day 6 after TCH today. It has been a whole lot easier than TAC. The word association is probably because this round is going so much better and I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall.
(Aside to Brenda: Zoloft vs. thorazine? LOL. Actually it's the difference between those scratchy canvas wrist restraints and the softer leather ones that you could chew through.)
(Aside to Steph: Okay, it's Mardi Gras. Guess I had fat fingers on that one. The sad part is I take pride in being able to spell.)
(Aside to Catherine: Was that avatar photo taken at the Relay for the Cure thing in Oregon City? The one where the Oregon City mayor blathered on so long that the cancer survivors were keeling over in the hot sun? Colleen was there, it would have been neat if you two could have met.)
