Day #3 over with! Today’s appointment was 2:20pm. All is going well. Two different sets of anti-nausea pills to take in the morning. Last set is tomorrow morning. No more until next chemo treatment on December 28th! Thankfully, the pills have been working and no problems with nausea. Like yesterday, we walked right in and got the treatment. Ken uses different songs to escape during treatment. Today was ‘Eye of the Tiger, Rocky’. I stood in my Momma Lion spot watching again (with the song playing on the iPad for support).
The patient was a little tired this afternoon. They warned him that the steroid / superman juice from chemo day will be wearing off! Yesterday, he was on the go for sure. He felt a bit of a sting on his skin when leaving because the cold wind hit it. We forgot his scarf. Note to self to have extra one in the car. Once we were in the car, I put on some aloe vera gel (home-made so we know what’s in it) for the ride home. We were told not to wait until we get home. It’s like a sunburn that you don’t feel until after you leave the beach. His throat was a little tender today but nothing more than he’s had since this all started.
He does occasionally have these cute little hiccups I’ve never heard before. A quick Google search says they are from one of the chemo day iv bags that is also the same drug as one of the pills he took yesterday and today!
Oh yes, I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post. I took my usual Teddy picture last night. And I am very pleased to announce that I can see a difference. Figuring I was too close to the topic, I emailed it to Ken’s brother who confirmed he saw it too. SO KEEP UP ALL THE HAPPY THOUGHTS and we can shrink Teddy together!
