14 Aug - Another Round

Sarah just got another round of Carboplatin and Taxotere chemo. This was a scary one because she stared getting an allergic reaction to the Carboplatin. But luckily she got a nurse as soon as she noticed being itchy all over and getting red spots. They loaded her up with Benadryl and then dripped the carbo slower and everything was fine again.
Right now, Sarah's feeling ok - a little bit queasy - and is resting a lot.

9 Aug - The 3-Day Walk For Breast Cancer

We spent most of the weekend cheering on Nicole, who was walking in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. Here are some pics. Thank you, Nicole! We had a great time hanging out with Brian, Maddie and Cloe as well.

5 August Update

Quick update - Sarah's feeling much better, although her neck is still a little swollen from the blood clot. It hasn't done anything and she's taking the Coumadin. We're looking forward to the arrival of our friends Nicole and Brian + kids tomorrow.
Nicole will be marching in the 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer here in Chicago this weekend. (Her fund-raising site is at: http://www.the3day.org/goto/Nicole.Smith)
