Mom went with Amanda to Chemo. Must say that Amanda is a bit of a "velcro child" right now. We can't say that we blame her...wants her mom with her.
Treatment was in a different Day-ward today. Not nearly as nice...no windows and patients were in closer quarters. Kinda depressing environment, and I think the nursing staff is a bit affected. They were far less personable - much more business like.
Use of the Power Port was WAY better than the IV route. Amanda said there was some pain with the initial needle poke, but was good after that. Treatment was faster this time, although they were still there for about 5 hours. Once again, Amanda went from a relatively normal pale with some red highlights to her skin to a weird, gross shade of yellowish-green. Kinda gross if you ask me. Once again an emotionally draining day, but overall she is doing okay.
