This is Sue updating Angie's blog for her. She had her intense chemo treatment today, and is pretty sick up to this point. She sleep through most of the chemo treatment, but woke up as it was just finishing up. Since then, she has been vomiting farely consistantly. Her Mom has been there the day, and is staying there tonight , to be by her side and assist her when she needs. She had a nurse attending to her throughout her whole treatment also.
I stopped by around 7 pm, and Angie was very tired, and not feeling well at all. She was too tired to talk much, and the nurse was trying to settle her with medication to help her with her nausea. I spoke with her around 9:30 tonight, and she asked me to update this blog, so , I did.
Saturday, she has another round of chemo. Not as intense, they tell me, but any chemo is so hard on the body. It is a shorter round also, so hopefully, she won't be so sick after. She hopes to be well enough on Monday to sneak out of the hospital for one last breath of fresh air, before she is too stay close to her room.
Please continue to send your words of encouragement as she checks her email and comments all the time.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed in so many ways! Keep up the good work!

Angie, you go girl! You just keep climbing that mountain -- one foot in front of the other till you reach the top! I'm Sarah, from the HD side of the lymphoma message board, and I'm headed for an SCT myself. (Just received my first cycle of ICE salvage chemo this week.)
I wanted to say that I've read your blog from start to finish, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for so generously sharing your experience. You'll see my blog addie attached, feel free to stop by when your eyes straighten after that crappy high dose chemo! I think you're doing beautifully, and I'm so motivated by your grace and dignity in response to this great challenge.
I'm so happy you have the support system you do. My partner is enormously supportive and we have a couple of friends where we live now, but we just moved a few states south within the U.S....so there will be some challenges. Also, my entire procedure is planned to be delivered outpatient, so that carries some obvious additional challenges. I'll climb my own mountain, as you're climbing yours right now.
Just hold on, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. A journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step, right?
You're well on your way, Angie. Sending lots and lots of prayers and positive vibes your way. :)
Take care -- and keep smiling that beautiful smile!
Sarah (SarahSmile over at the board.)
Angie, your blog is interesting and very well done. You are a true inspiration. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Keep up the great work and positive vibes.
