1st treatment over

first thing this morning we had to visit karens neuro-onocolgist. I am not sure why because all he did was remind us about all the bad things that can happen with the avastin. so, treatment went good. karen took a little one and a half hour nap while the avastin dripped in her IV while i read a book. now we just have to look for signs of bad side effects. i will just keep praying that this is the thing that will keep karen around for a long time to come. 2 week until the next treatment and then 2 weeks until the 3rd. at that point there will be an MRI that will tell us if it is working...
