First chemo session went well and the support from the day unit is fabulous. My daughter is not handling all this as well as she could be and the social worker gave me some great info for her to read on CANTEEN - I didn't realise they provide support for kids who have cancer in the family home (parent, aunt, uncle, etc) as well as the kids who actually have the disease.. I think my girl will do much better if she has people her own age to talk to. She comes down physically ill with stress - has a phobia about illness which, as you can imagine, is not real good just now! She tried to drive me in for my session yesterday and we had to come back home and put her to bed with a bucket! I headed for the bus stop instead but a friend spotted me and took me in. It made for a funny story, really. I feel good so far but very bloated and peeing like a tap! The Dexamethasone makes my legs ache and is keeping me awake but hey - its worth it to skip the nausea for a couple of days ;-)
