...that's what we're learning, happily! Her worst time, so far, was the other night and she couldn't sleep. Agonizing pain. Turns out it was her white cells kicking back into gear, which is a very good thing. It just hurts.

She's not enjoying this, at all, but, so far, it is just sooo much better than expected.

Thanks!
