Chemo Day 4

Sandy was told yesterday that her work hours are being cut from 40 down to 29 a week. Not good news. We got a call from nurse Connie that chemo is on for today, Thursday, June 11th. Good news.

Here we are, at the University of Chicago Medical Center, Infusion North, room 16. It's 10:45 am and Sandy is about one third of the way through her first chemical, paclitaxel. Sandy is playing on her Nintendo DS Lite. Connie came around and lent Sandy her copy of Touchmaster 2 for the day. Sandy is finding out that it's easier to rack up a high score in bowling with Nintendo Wii than it is on the DS Lite. So now she's playing solitaire: "Sometimes I like to play a game I can win!"
