Is Jo having loads of fun? No. Would she rather be drinking girly drinks with umbrellas on a beach? Yes. Have the first 2 weeks been as bad as we had heard they would be? Absolutely not. Maybe Jo's side effects haven't been quite as intense as others may have experienced. Maybe MD Anderson is just that good. Maybe it's a bit of both.
Don't get me wrong. The nausea would have had me in the fetal position. Jo's a lot tougher than I am and MD Anderson is really good and proactive when treating her. Currently the toughest part is the mental exhaustion, often referred to as Chemo Brain. Focus is tough and conversation takes enormous energy. Still, if that is the worst of it, we'll take it.
So, I know y'all want updates and I almost didn't write this in fear of jinxing the situation. Do me a big favor and find some wood to knock on!

So glad that Jo is doing so well! That's exactly what we'd all hoped for.
