So it is about 10:30 pm Tuesday and we are still waiting for Amy to get her first chemo treatment.  She has had a busy day so far. This afternoon she had her central line put it. This allows them to get easy access to take blood as well as give her whatever medications she needs. They say the central line is nice in that she won't have to be poked and prodded to get blood taken constantly. I don't think that she agrees with them yet, as the central line is giving her some pain. Also they have started giving her some blood today (both blood and platelets).  We will update you tomorrow and let everyone know how the first treatment goes.

  8. Amy you will eventually love your central line! It will save you from being stuck 3 or 4 times a day for blood, my patients love them after they heal up. I hope everything is going ok and I am praying for you. I'll continue to keep up with you through this blog so thanks to those keeping it up to date!
