Solvej's good friend, Kathy Bailey, has come down from Pretoria for a week to be with Solvej. She took Solvej to Vincent Palotti for her first session of chemo this morning . They went in pretty early as the Doctor first wanted Solvej to go for blood tests. She also sent Solvej for an x-ray of her chest as she was worried about Solvej's breathlessness, but the x-ray showed that there was nothing to be concerned about. The chemo went smoothly, but it was a long day for Solvej. Chemo sessions will now take place every Friday for the time-being. With the procedure yesterday and the chemo today, Solvej is feeling exhausted and quite sick.
