Post treatment complications

It was a long weekend with Sam.  She had another round of Chemo last Thursday.  We were informed that this Chemo would work on her GI tract.   We were also informed that this would happen a few days after treatment.   By Saturday night, she was puking and miserable.  She seemed to perk back up on Sunday, eating some soft canned food.  I slept on the floor next to her both nights, just monitoring her.  Listening to her heavy breathing and stirring around as she was uncomfortable.  By today, Monday AM, I needed to drive her to see her doctor.  It is an hour drive one way and Sam did not really enjoy the drive.  She will be staying with the Vet today on supportive IV and additional anti-nausea medication.  We are hopefully she will bounce back.  It is so very troublesome and sad to see Sam feel bad.  When she did not want to eat or drink early this AM, we knew something was wrong.  I will head back up this evening to pick her up.  I am hoping for updates throughout the day.   I am going to make a valiant attempt to stay positive and keep churning on my work products.   Knowing in my mind that our dog is not feeling well.  It will be a challenging day, but we should get through it.  Cancer, of any kind, just plan sucks.  I am not sure what is worse, the disease or the treatment.  Her Vet is positive that she will bounce back.  Just hard to digest for me personally.
