Couple Chemo treatments down

As the chemo treatments went on about 3 in more of a schedule of how the rest would go was set. After 4 doses of one type of chemo everyother week she would then recieve a different one after a two week break and go for 12 weeks in a row. After her Chemo is over the doctor still wants to do radiation to be safe. with the radiation she will recieve 33 treatments going everyday. As far as getting sick the study drug she is recieving she thinks is working because even though she got sick after the first treatment the following treatments she has felt pretty good. she also gets a shot now after every treatment which is a white blood cell booster to help with her shite blood cell count so that she can fight off diseases. I found a webstie very helpfull explaining the booster shot and for anyone getting ready to excperience it I would recomend going to this page to read up on a background of the shot and how it works because then it makes it easier in understanding whats going on and why.
