Yes there are friends who will check on her if we need it and to be honest she does not really need it yet - the treatments will probably progressively whack her but this first one probably not very much. Her family is out of state (thank goodness). It is more just me being over-protective. She is okay from this first one it appears, but it is a new procedure because of progression to a new part of the body and I just get all twitchy. The only good part about the new situation is that the treatment is not painful.
