Day 1 of Treatment

Had a quick conversation with Jeff this evening....

Day 1 of Chemo/Radiation is in the books. There were no side effects from the Chemo pill she took in the morning, and the radiation treatment went quick. On the downside for the day, was that Amy had 3 different seizure episodes. As Jeff explained in his post the other day, these are pretty draining, both physically and emotionally for Amy. Doctors told Jeff and Amy that these could happen due to 1) her brain still having some tumor cells that need to be "taken care of" and 2) her brain healing.

The seizures are very dis-heartening so please keep Amy in your prayers that the medication will be effective in preventing these moving forward. Also, pray that her days of treatment continue to go smoothly.

Jeff plans to send a more detailed update soon.
