24% down on the chemo. Kate was re-admitted to Hollywood hospital today (very appropriate name - they show James Bond movies on the TV) and had her first set of chemo of week 2.
The dosage is lower this time so hopefully the impact won't be as severe as the previous time. Also, they have pre-administered some serious anti nausea medicine.
Kate had a 'pic line' inserted to avoid having needles stuck into her arm. This provides a semi permanent entryway for the intravenous drugs.
She was quite happy today and the nurses were very familiar and happy, so it is a friendly environment. We are holding thumbs that this week will be easy!
That's all encouraging news Martin - yip, hopefully it'll be easier this time. I think also knowing what she's in for at least minimises the shock of feeling so hideous. Give her lots and lots of love from me.
