8 down 17 to go...

8 treatments done.  It has been a challenging 3 weeks for the Lindbloom-Larsens.  Friday was day 8 of 25 for Gin.  She is scheduled weekdays throughout the month of March.  We will celebrate the "final" treatment for this round on March 31st.  Overall things are going well.  Gin has been a champ, dukes are up.  That being said, the treatment is beginning to show itself in side effects.  Immediately following treatment Gin feels quite "poorly".  We are glad that her radiation is scheduled in the afternoon.  This gives Ginny her mornings to do what she needs to accomplish.  Our prayer for Gin is simple - stamina.  She is beginning to feel the fatigue of treatment and yesterday experienced her first bout of nausea.  

We had some questions about the last pic I posted, so here is another look with some more specific markings.  A family member suggested making a "voodoo" tumor to stab after each treatment.  A great idea :)

From the care taking/support side of things I am holding up okay.  My work schedule and other life happenings have added to the general stress of life.  That being said, we are committed to living our best life together as we walk this part of the journey.  We are so grateful for family and friends.  We covet good thoughts, positive energy and prayer.
