Iva starts her chemotherapy tomorrow, if the doctors give the green light. We have to wait to hear what her labs from Friday showed first, but either way, she is having a PICC line placed in the morning. Then off to see Dr. Kodali and possibly her first of many rounds of chemo to come.
Fortunately, we have been witnessing a great improvement in her strength levels these days. She has been able to walk a lot more and use her legs more than she previously could. She felt so good that we decided to take a day's trip to see some more of Texas. We loaded everyone up in our sexy minivan and headed out to see some of the countryside surrounding Houston. It isn't much to look at, but it was nice to get out and forget about things (sort of) for a while. On the way back today, we got some lunch at a gourmet restaurant, also known as McDonalds, and Iva ate a whole Big Mac meal. Last year at this time, Iva was a vegetarian. Now, she craves hamburgers.
Tonight she cooked us some pasta and now we are just waiting anxiously for tomorrow to start. We pray that the chemo does what it is suppose to do and kicks some cancer ass!
Iva, you look so happy, and the hat is adorable! We pray your chemo is less stressful than the last round was, and that you recover quickly. May God guide the hands of your doctors and nurses, and may angels surround you now and forever.
