Anemic girl perks up
Becca's chemo and transfusion was without incident today, though she had to spend 7 hours at the hospital. Three of us (Pat, Anita, and myself) took turns keeping her company. She required a wheelchair to get to oncology, because of her low hemoglobin (7.9, down from 14 before she started chemo), but she felt somewhat better after receiving two pints of blood and was able to walk out, though we decided not to go dancing tonight :-)

Thank you. I've anxiously awaited hearing from you both. Love to you.
I'm glad that at least it's pretty clear that's what her body was needing. I had no idea how long these stays to get chemo and transfusions would last! So glad you have this network! !
