Sierra cleared her methotrexate this morning and we are now at home. She had a fairly good time this go around, no nausea or vomitting. The hardest thing for her was the moodiness. She has never struggled so hard with mood swings before with this particular chemo, but this go around she had a really hard time being happy after the second day. She was moody, and grumpy, and even downright rude at some points and she couldn't control it. I felt so badly because she was asking me why she can't be happy and was upset with herslf for not being able to cheer up, which only perpetuated the cycle up grouchiness. She woke up happier today, so we only had about 36hrs of grumpiness. She was so anxious to get home today that she started removing the tape from her port access on her own, before the nurse could get in the room. She goes back for her next dose of methotrexate on Friday, so we will be having some fun time before that happens. We have family friends coming into town for a visit and Sierra is very excited to see them. We are still waiting to hear back on the tumor necrosis, but it should be next week sometime for sure.
