Mar 24- Getting ready for Round 2

Jessie has been sore but doing very well the last few days. Other than the fact that we learned she has an adhesive allergy! She has a rash on her neck and shoulders from the drapes that were used during surgery. She is itchy. We've been putting hydrocortisone cream on it and taking some allergy medicine to help ease the discomfort.
She hasn't been able to go back to school yet since the surgery, but is trying to get lots of work done. When the port moves inside her ribcage, it freaks her out. She had a talk with another cancer patient the other night and did some bonding.

Her next treatment starts Monday. We go down there early so an EKG can be done for a baseline reading. The next medicine she receives MAY cause some heart issues so they do an EKG EVERY Monday. Once that is read and deemed ok, she gets the IV Arsenic Trioxide. I think it takes about 2 hours. I'll have plenty of time to blog when that's happening!!
