Day 1 of Rena's Chemotherapy

Hello Everyone!  There are so many people that love Rena!  So I am starting a blog to help communicate with everyone as much as possible.

Yesterday Rena went into surgery to have a central line put in so that it will be easier to administer the chemotherapy agents and to draw blood.  She spent the night recuperating from that.

Today Rena is beginning her first day of Chemotherapy.  The doctors are following sophisticated treatment plan that will last over a year.  8 months of which will be more intense, but after that it will be maintanance.  The drugs seem mostly to be making her feel very tired and a bit icky. 

Rena is in a very excellent hospital.  She could not receive better care.

We are grateful for all of the well wishes, notes, messages, balloons, presents, and most of all your prayers. They mean alot!
