Treatment 1 of 6 Complete

This will be a short one. Just personal stuff, the science will have to wait for another day.

Tuesday, as already posted, was a long day. Slept quite well/drugged that night, went to work on Wednesday for half a day, didn't feel bad at all.

Wednesday's treatment was only 2 hours, no issues. Wednesday night, no sleep at all. Dozed occasionally, but mostly sat up and read or thought about life & how long a night can be.

Thursday put in almost a full day at work, felt pretty good. Went in at the end of the day for a shot of NuLasta, a white cell booster. Thursday night, again, almost no sleep.

Friday things changed. Went to work, started running down, wound up with that "energy loss" they'd mentioned. By the time I got home, it was a struggle to walk from the car to the house. Laid around, finally went to bed, slept very well.

Today, not even that much energy. I went outside for a while, moving a chair a few feet ran me out of breath. Later, tried to walk to the mailbox and it was a long, long trip.

So today has been a day of lying on the couch, watching football, hoping things pick up in a day or three. My family is amazing, helping in every way possible, as supportive as a Husband/Dad/person could ever want.

Can't end without at least a joke, though:


What do you call bugs with cancer? MalignANT and BEEnign.
