Yesterday at 630am and 12:30pm Charmaine did get her first 2 rounds of full body radiation. The actual process is painless like getting an xray. In the early evening she did get nauseated some and had a bad headache. The nausea went away but the headache persisted until they had to give her stronger meds to contain it. She slept ok during the night but is still very tired from yesterday. We had to get up at 4 am to leave home.
She has just got back this morning from 3rd radiation treatment. She will have a total of 6 treatments.
I need to correct the info on the radiation on yesterdays post. Each treatment lasts 20 minutes not 2 hours.
We were told yesterday that the transplant may be delayed 1 day because the donor is out of the country which means it could be the 2nd instead of the 1st of September.
Thanks for caring about her so much. I'll keep you all posted.

7:30 PM Update
She had her 2 rounds of radiation today with little or no side effects so far.
Thanks be to God for his never ending mercy!!
Tonite she and Stefanie ordered a pizza from Everybody's Pizza and enjoyed it. Charmaine said she was going to eat it while she could. She has a wonderful upbeat spirit.
Will update you tomorrow. It is her last day for radiation.
