On Friday Carol started with the chemotherapy’s boost protocol that will extend until Monday.
This is a shorter version of the earlier protocol, but since the chemotherapy drugs build up on the body, its side effects are expected to be a bit more intense.
Carols cousin Freddie visited on Saturday. Freddie was in Florida visiting her sister on the east coast so she had to borrow a car and drove close to 2.5 hours each way to see Carol.
The visit gave Carol a great boost and both were having a great time. Aside for reminiscing for hours they also took advantage of a small break in between her chemotherapy IV’s and both went for a short walk on the USF campus.

Carol and Freddie self portrait…….-------------------------------------------------------
During most of Saturday, Carol had close to no discomfort, but in the evening and during the night nausea and heartburn disrupted her otherwise nice day.
It's now early Sunday and another round of chemo will start at 9am.
We hope it’s better managed by medications so Carol doesn’t have a lousy day.
Thank you again to everyone of you who continue calling or writing.
