Adriamycin and Cytoxan (AC) - Treatment 2

This week "mom" received her second AC treatment.  The first treatment was pretty tough and mom wasn't looking forward to going back for more.  The team headed off to Boston for a 10 AM appointment, this time without all the snow.  "Grandpa Gary" and "Grandma Sue" were back in action for Team Charlene this week after allowing others to feel the power of the treatment.

The doctors were able to dial-in on the drugs and make the next week more tolerable for "mom" while the treatment works on killing the tumor cells.  "Mom" was told that the dosage of treatment drugs was modified slightly to help fight the nausea and feeling of being tired all the time.

So far this week "mom" has been relaxing at home and overall she has been feeling pretty good.  "Mom" has been able to eat just about everything and the nausea is tolerable.  "Mom" has been feeling tired and a little achy this week, but nothing like the first treatment.   On Wednesday we got a little snow (24" or so) and "dad" was nice enough to make us a little path in the back yard.  The snow was all the way up our legs and we ran around and around. Check out the attached video of "Liz" and myself.


Well that is all so far this week.  We will keep you posted as the week goes on.

Love the Puppers and Kitty,
Ginger, Liz, and Baby (Meow)
