Monday, 22 May - Sarah getting her first chemotherapy at the oncologist's office. The first of her three drugs is red (adriamycin) so you can really see the moment it enters her body via the medi-port implanted in her chest. She was surprisingly calm - we were told that many people are very worried during their first chemo and must be lightly sedated to "take the edge off." Her smile is a bit deceiving - fatigue and nausea set in after two days and she's just starting to feel a tiny bit better at the end of Thursday, 25 May. In her own words, "at least we know it's doing something!"
