We embarked on Chris's 3rd and final cycle on Monday. He is now officially halfway through this long week. He has chemo 5 days this week and a neulasta shot on Saturday. However, Friday will mark the end of this awful week and the rest is downhill! One shot on June 17 and one on the 24th. That's it!! Chris asked the nurse to schedule him for a doctor appointment as soon as treatment is done so that he can get his port removed. The port and the awful taste in his mouth have probably been his two biggest complaints. He is ready to get that thing out!
Most of you are wondering how Chris is feeling this week. So, here's a quick summary: Monday wasn't great. Chris was sleep deprived and had done a lot of yardwork on Sunday. Those things combined produced a less than stellar Monday morning. He felt a little better by the end of the day due to the anti-nausea meds given to him during treatment. Tuesday was great. He had a restful night of sleep the evening before and woke up refreshed. He visited for a couple hours with my brother who was awesome and brought Chris and I pizza. As is the norm for Chris these days, he gave Brian very specific order "suggestions." :) that brings us to today. The morning was rough. Chris felt hot (no fever, thankfully!) and nauseous. He hurried to check some things off of his to-do list so that he could nap. My preference would be for Chris to relax and rest all day, but that is not my husband. I expect that his computer will be coming out soon and he will be getting back to work.
Counting down......
