Beth is really well - she received her first chemo last Monday March 23rd and the first week has been much better than she or anyone else anticipated.. It's obvious the meds they prescribed for nausea worked and although she has had some issues, it's nothing she can't handle (but then again - we know that Beth won't complain no matter what's happening).. and yes - she did pick out her wig!!!
Beth is not a happy camper about having to be careful about how much time she spends in the sun; as a nanny-Beth spends her entire summer by the pool with the kids, so she's still pouting about this directive!!!
Beth went to work yesterday for the first time since her surgery and she's hoping to be able to work some - As most of you know Beth is a nanny for 5 wonderful kids (she's prejudiced of course because they are her nieces & nephews).. It's her first attempt since the surgery..
No doubt the kids are so excited to have her back and to be together again, especially little Nicholas and Beth's youngest "Hayden" - it was very obvious how much they missed each other!! And you can only imagine how excited Beth's beloved Sydney was, when her Auntie Ba picked her up from school yesterday.. And Beth is planning Devon's 9th birthday party, so it's better than we could have imagined!!!
So, the routine will be chemo every 3 weeks for the first 3-4 months; then every week for several months, and then back to every 3 weeks ... and so it will go for 15+ months.. But, how wonderful that it's there to help make sure that Beth's wins this challenge!!
As always - thank you - thank you - thank you for your continued best wishes and support - it helps more than you will ever know - so keep those prayers coming - they are making all the difference!!!
