I was wrong in regard to the end of the chemo. Jo got a small dose of chemo today and she'll get a few more small doses on the 13th, the 16th and the 21st. Jo is one of the few people on the floor that still has hair and they want make absolutely sure it falls out!
Actually, the chemo has a different purpose. As Jo's new stem cells start producing white cells, the chemo is used to calm those new white cells. Without the chemo they would start running around like little warriors going crazy wreaking too much havoc on Jo's already beat up insides.
Jo told Dr. Andersson today that her throat is a little scratchy. In his soft, but authoritative European voice he reassured her, "Don't worry, it'll get worse." Unfortunately, everyone "in the know" seems 100% confident that Jo's comfort level will go down before it goes up.
Stay tuned. This movie has started a little slow, but those that have seen it before say the action picks up soon.
