Devon and Erin pose for a shot during chemo.

Devon has officially completed her first day of chemotherapy.

She did her blood work on Tuesday, which determines if she is able to continue with the chemo treatment the following 2 days. The blood work each month will be measured against her baseline study done just over a week ago. Her blood work came back good so she underwent the 5 hours of chemotherapy yesterday. Today, she undergoes another round and then will head home to rest.

Unfortunately, Devon is already experiencing side-effects from her treatment. These include, so far: sore throat, headache, exhaustion, pale colour, severe irritability, and she’s not hungry at all. She feels full all the time yet still needs to eat to keep her health and nutrition up.

Erin is with her in Vancouver and will drive her back to Whistler today (Thursday).  Thank you for your prayers and support. We’ll see you at the Brewhouse fundraiser on July 9th.

The meal train is full at this time, however, more meal slots will be added this week once we get her following chemo schedule.

Chemo cocktails to take home. Thank you, Tara Drury, for the refreshing drink. And Thank you, Debbie Blucke, for delivering it.
