Chemp #2

What a remarkable change in the weather. Here I sit after a long day of Chemo-therapy again, and I am feeling..........Not To Shabby at all. Amazing, last time I was totally exhausted from the moment we left the Cancer Center, I slept on the way home and crashed in my chair as soon as I walked in the door, tonight i am awake and feel good.

I do have some of the shooting knife-like pains, but i can deal with it. And of course I have 3 days to go, so we will play it by ear.

I met with Dr O'Reilly at 7:30 this morning, and explained the tough side effects of last weeks treatment, especially tough Fatigue and Nausea. She modified the mix of Medications i take, adding a steroid, a nausea and an anti anxiety drug. This is probably the reason I feel so strong now. Its amazing. 

It was an early day and i thank Wayne for his moral support today, I only lost one pound, probably from dehydrating. But overall health is good.

I got my schedule laid out for 3 more chemo sessions, a bunch of Tests, CT Scans etc, then we will discuss the results, progress etc, (Assuming there are no hickups, which we should be prepared for) We will meet with the surgeon and think about the operation in March.

Love John
