DAY 7 - EVENING

Valerie made it through just about 2/3 of the nutritional IV - there was a LOT of fluid in that IV.  She got really nauseous and weird feeling.  But it's got to help that she got some nutrients in her.

Tomorrow is a full day - 5 IVs plus the blood treatment.  The doctor said that he was going to have nausea ordered routinely to keep it at bay instead of having her ask for it once she's already nauseous.  We'll see if that happens and it it helps.

From what the doctor said - she just needs to get through this 12 day period.  It kind of acts as a booster for her system to get it in shape to fight back against the cancer.

more tomorrow.....
