Slept the day away. It felt good. Nausea is minimal, but still have that dull hangover feeling so apparently Miso is not the cure-all, although I do think things have been better. I'm bored beyond belief. Karen's sister Kellie (sp?) is in town for the week so she gets to see just how dull our daily routine is!
I've seen a few wisps of hair fall out, but nothing major yet. It's possible I'll just thin a bit, but another week will probably tell the story. As usual, no news = good news. Todd, thanks for the practical words. I agree that we decide on the path of our life. Love the Hawking quote!
When I think of the sacrifice so many cancer victims have endured in the interest of furthering our knowledge to help future patients it instills a deep humility within me. Thank you medical research and technology. To think, 50 years ago, this would have killed me without a chance.
UPDATE: The Neulasta hurts in a different way from Neupogen. The pain radiates up my spine. Just took a Tylenol to ease the pain, but it came on pretty suddenly (over the past 15 minutes).

Bill,
ReplyDeleteI hate to tell you this, but there are no cure-alls! BUT, getting some good nutritional support for your immune system will make an enormous difference.
Sleep is good, BTW. Aside from the obvious of helping you get away from the pain, nausea, etc., it is also a major restorative part of the therapy -- even if the docs don't state that to be the case.
Cheers,
John

ReplyDeleteTodd told me what is going on and I wanted to let you know I am watching from Australia. I am in town in May and want to come and celebrate you getting through this. Sounds like you have totally geeked out over it all!
