Second Round of Chemo - September 1

Julie's second round of chemo went well today, no reactions, no problems. Now she just waits to see what the side affects will be. (Few and mild is the plan.) At a pre-chemo appointment this morning, the nurse practitioner told Julie her labs/bloodwork look good.

Tomorrow/Wednesday Julie has to be at Deaconess Hospital (downtown Spokane) at 7am to have her chest port removed - it's the port that caused the blood clot(s). Port removal is a surgical procedure but it doesn't take long and can be done with either general or local anesthetic. (Since we're going with the French "chimiothérapie," maybe we should use the British spelling of "anaesthetic.")
