My dad took my mom to have Chemo today at the Group Health clinic. It started with an hour long orientation teaching all about chemo and what to expect. That went well and the nurse was fabulous. Once they start Chemo it will be about 6 hours of treatment being monitored by the nurses since this is her first time having it done.

Then they took her blood counts.

They started Chemo. About 45 minutes in, they stopped Chemo because her calcium level came back high. They decided to give her liquids to see if they could flush her system and bring the levels down.
