Day 2

Not much to report today as I didn't see her too much. She slept most of the time I was home after work. She got a shot around 2:30 of Neulasta. Neulasta is defined as:

• Neulasta is a protein that stimulates production of white blood cells. White blood cells are important for protecting the body from infection.
• Neulasta is used to increase white blood cells and therefore decrease the risk of infection in patients with non-myeloid (not bone marrow) cancers while receiving cancer chemotherapy (drugs).

The nausea hasn't been that bad so far which is a good thing but the steroids she has to take (no, she is not linked in the Barry Bonds/BALCO investigation) the day before and the day of seem to give her the jitters and she was up at 3:30 this morning and could not get back to sleep. Thus, that is probably why I did not see her much today...
