Treatment 1 - October 28th

I decided early on in Emmie's cancer diagnosis that being positive was the key to making it through this 16 week treatment plan without any extra stress. I took inspiration in my friend Jenny, a cancer surviving human, who personified cancer in order to express her disgust with the disease in a humorous way. I decided to write little notes to Cancer on behalf of Emmie & the rest of the fam to make sure it knew it would not win.

The last week in October kicked off Emmie's fight with Cancer. She needed a little coaxing to leave the waiting room without me but did trot off for her first treatment. Both my husband and I waited an hour while they administered the chemo. I wasn't sure how she would react to the treatment and was dreading the worst. Surprisingly Emmie ran out to greet me, pulling along the Oncology Tech. She had a little pink bandage around her back leg where she got her injection but otherwise looked great.
