When I got to session 5, the doctor saw me not doing as well and decided to cut back a little on the chemo by 10% (they call it "chemo stacking" and usually by the end of sessions the doctor's tend to cut back) and the nurse hydrated me with 2 bags of water. All together, the cut back and water made the 6th session one of the easiest. It was such a blessing because I wondered how I was going to finish all 6 sessions but after session 5, I felt like I could make it through number 6.

chemo recap 4 and 5
I haven't taken time to blog but here is a recap of sessions four and five. I was so tired after session 4 that I took a lot of naps. The month of May was busy with all the kids activities the last month of school. I was tired and didn't really recover from round 4. Usually by day 10 after chemo I feel pretty good, but round 4 was just brutal; I couldn't even run well.
