Second Phase Chemotherapy

Our mother began the second phase of her chemotherapy last Thursday after having a subcutaneous mediport inserted on Monday. She was given Gemcitabine via IV for a little over an hour. The nurses gave her Zophran for any potential nausea. Her reaction to this first infusion wasn't too bad. She suffered some very mild nausea and a mild fever for a couple of days (100.5 degrees). But she was going out to lunch by Saturday so I think overall it wasn't too bad. Hopefully it will continue to not be too difficult. Today is our parent's anniversary - I hope they are enjoying themselves.
