Emily had her first chemo yesterday.  So far, so good.  She hasn't had any side effects as of yet.  I am glad to get things started.  She has recovered so nicely from her surgery.  Sometimes it is still sad for me when I look at her but I know that is my problem not hers.  It has been about a month since her first diagnosis.  Without amputation and chemo we would only have a few months left with her, and they would have been painful months for her physically.  Painful for all of us emotionally.  I am so happy to have found this web site  and been encouraged by all of you.
