Cycle 3, Day 2, the start of the second half of treatment

Eric was feeling pretty lousy Saturday afternoon and evening following his treatment-- feverish with all the symptoms that come with a fever (chills, flushing, aches, etc.) and a great deal of nausea. We really stayed on top of the Tylenol and Zofran so by Sunday morning, he felt pretty well. It would be so much better if he wasn't sick at all, and it's awful how sick he is, but the silver lining is that it's not lasting as long and not as severe as during the past treatments.

We got in early Sunday morning (7:30 am) and were out of there by a little after 10 am. It was nice to not have a whole weekend day taken up with the treatment. Eric was  tired so we had a lazy day and he was able to get in some quality nap time! The nausea was gone and his appetite was back so it was a good day. He's on the golf course as I type and that's always a good sign.

Best of all: No more treatments for five weeks!!! We'll go in on Friday for blood work and a quick visit with the APN and, if  things go as well as they have been going, it should be a short visit.
