The healing begins and it is so slow. As the human body starts to eliminate the medication that was taken in on Monday. Slowly the medication dissipates and the effects are noticeable. Harriet mentioned yesterday that she has broken blood vessels in her hand and it is not due to where the medication was injected into her body. Hopefully all these will heal with time.
For those of you have been following this blog for a long time you will remember how I quoted the fact that they figure out how much chemotherapy medication will kill you and back off just a hair so it doesn't kill you, but it kills the cancer. It also destroys so much of the rest of the body. Hopefully these different areas of the body that have been weakened or wrecked havoc on, will repair and overtime be working properly.
There is a cycle that we've noticed over the past chemotherapies. As the medication leaves the system, the aftereffects begin to kick in. The numbness in the hands in the feet are most notable. You remember the swelling that was in her feet and legs has gone down quite a bit over time, but they are not "normal".
Maranatha,
Frank and Harriet
