Judith graduated on June 28 and is now officially done with high school. Each graduate had their moment of glory for approximately 10 seconds when they received their diploma and then there were some who also got a prize. Judith shared the Earth and Space Science Reward with her good friend Hannah. The tall guy beside them in the photo is Mr. Bush, their teacher.
On Friday, Judith had her 3rd chemo - or rather 2A, having had 1A and 1B. The injection she had to stimulate white blood cell growth worked extremely well which means that she will definitely keep to the two week cycle. Apparently this is very important for the type of treatment regimen she is on.
Today, Muriel the visiting community nurse, came to set up her IV hydration at home. Judith spent most of her day sleeping. This procedure will be repeated tomorrow. We are so grateful that this service is available for her as it seems to prevent the dibilitating nausea she experienced after her first chemo. According to the pattern we have observed, day 4 (which is tomorrow) is usually the most challenging with nausea and tiredness but fortunately it is a holiday for Terry and me so we'll be around for the day.
Thank you all for emails, phone calls, enquires and chats.It is good to know that we can talk about these events in our life.
With love, Ingrid
