Brinley started round 4 of chemotherapy on July 14th. The doctors say this is the most intense round. Her numbers will start to drop and she will probably feel like crap during most of it. The mouth sores went away! The solution was colloidal silver; they all went away after a few sprays in her mouth. She should lose the rest of her hair in this next month or so. The doctors added another chemo which makes her pee turn red. Also, they added a high dose of steroids twice a day for a week. Then she gets a week break until they do the steroids again. 

Today she went to Primary Children's for chemotherapy and it was a very hard day for her. She feels awful. She threw up in car on the way there and continued to throw up while sitting at the hospital getting the chemo. The chemo takes 1 1/2 hours to push. Then they had to watch her for a least an hour after. My mom, Brinley, and grandma had to wait 2 hours for the chemo to get there today. It was a long day.

Brinley kept crying and saying sad things like...

"I'm gonna die. What's happening to me?"

"I'm not pretty."

"I'm not getting married."

"I'm not gonna get better."

It breaks our hearts. She has been so strong even though it is so hard on her. Cancer is starting to get real. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
