3/4 of the way there!

Nothing much new to report this week. Em did improve after around 9 days of feeling pretty crummy. She had her 6th treatment on Friday and is back to feeling the pain again, but we are hopeful that it will not be as bad or last as long this time around. She is armed with a bunch of new pain medications and the name of an acupuncturist who specializes in treating chemo patients. We've heard rumors that it really does the trick but can take a while to feel the effects. Em has such a dislike of needles (especially now) that she may not choose to take the alternative medicine route. We shall see.

Six down, two to go! The first Friday of April can't get here soon enough. :)

I hate needles, but love acupuncture! It was the only thing that cured my morning sickness. (sorry, I know you didn't ask...) Thanks for the updates, Lisa! Em, you're always an inspiration!
