Today is Friday and like my other treatments I am feeling okay. The Emend definetely makes me more tired so I have slept more the last two days. So, what is the red devil???? That is a term that patients use to describe part of the meds that are given during a chemo treatment. Most of the meds drip from a bag into your vein but at some time during the treatment the nurse comes over with two large syringes that are full of what looks like cherry kool aid. From what I have read this stuff is pretty toxic so that is why they have to "push" it in by hand so that they are there to monitor you the entire time. I am pretty sure that this part is only given during the AC part of my treatment plan so I am hoping that I only have to see the "red devil" one more time.
I am hoping that Saturday and Sunday will be much better because of the new meds...thanks for your constant thoughts and prayers!!

good morning Jan! I'm hoping as I'm writing this you are fast asleep, resting comfortably, no puking, no nauseau..... just a peaceful weekend! I pray the medicine takes care of that for you. I'm praying the old Red Devil is taking care of those nasty cancer cells and you are well on your way to being healed! I love you so much!!!!! Sue
Oh - by the way - HOORAY - I figured out how to get to your site from HOME now.... Not sure what my issues were before, but I'm with it today! hehehe. Thinking of you and sending a great big hug your way! Sue

Hi Jan - of course thinking of you today and wondering how your weekend is going... If you slept it away, that's OK - better than puking it away and visiting the hospital! Hope is was better this time! The Peacocks and the Taylors were the big bowling tournament champions yesterday at the Hitek party. GREAT time.... Profitable evening. Jack and Larry Meadows were the first losers - or should I say the runner ups in the pool tournament. Late night - lots of fun! Just know that I love you! Sue
Hey Jan,

Love ya,
Stacey Brock
