Dreading the Inevitable but Necessary

Everything went well at the doctor today. Blood counts look good, platelets continue to be just above 300. Eric just has to keep taking the new meds and trying to stay ahead of the nausea. It's been such a rough month with this nausea that Eric says he gags when he thinks of going for the chemo. He's really dreading this weekend. Let's face it. He sure never looks forward to going, but he doesn't usually face it with such dread.

Maybe, just maybe, it won't be so bad this time. Each time has been different and you never know what to expect. Here's to hoping for the best! Saturday's appointment is at 7:30 AM and should take about 6 hours, once they get started. It sure would be nice to start on time.  Sunday's treatment is only about an hour and a half or so and should be around that same time. It's generally about 24 hours after they start on Saturday. I'll keep you posted.
