The Last Day of Round 3


The head of the bone marrow transplant unit is the covering doctor for the day. He speeds through rounds and will likely be here any minute to check on my progress. The plan for today is to take a dose of chemo at 9am and then another one tonight at 8pm. That way when I am done, I can leave to go home.

I am feeling a little better this morning than I felt yesterday. I had missed an ativan dose that left me more and more nauseated as the day went on. I still need all the help I can get with these high power drugs. They wreck havc on my stomach and taste buds, but it is temporary.

Today is a different day;my stomach feels better, less nausea, less bad taste in my mouth, and I am excited to go home later today.

So I have to finish reading all the books I brought with me and watch some college football (UNC v Notre Dame) and (Texas v Oklahoma). Holly is out this morning doing a bike ride to benefit leukemia and other cancers. You go girl.

I'll try to keep in low key today. Won't go back to the clinic until Monday at 9am.

Another fun nature photo for you; we were leaning together to make a fun shadow of ourselves in the marsh grass-taf

Great picture!

I'm glad the nausea has passed and that you get to go home.

Hope you're enjoying the leaves and fall weather.
Love,
