Hi everyone! Long time no type. Not much has been happening, really… Joe is a super trooper with the chemo so far.
That cookout I mentioned last Saturday didn't happen. Joe hit a pretty hard wall around 3 PM on Saturday, and then slept 12 hours that night. I thought it was the beginning of a week's worth of exhaustion, but no. On Sunday, he was his old self again. He seems to feel almost better now than he did before, which is pretty amazing. Most of our activity of late has been getting him moved in and settling into our new domestic routine. Which isn’t a bad routine, it turns out! Living together is good.
As Joe wrote a few days ago, there has been a slight change to the treatment plan- we thought radiology/chemotherapy combo would start next week, but instead, they’re doing another round of the 24 hour chemo drip. We don’t know if this is because he tolerated the initial dose so well or what, but it feels like more treatment, not less, so I’m cool with it. Joe has a follow-up with the Oncologist today, when a lot of questions will be answered. A very important one being whether Joe can take this next dose of chemo from home (using his newly implanted PowerPort) or if he has to be in the hospital again. SO hoping for the former!
I’ll send another update once we know more from Dr. Schwarz, so stay tuned...
