Chemo... again?

So this morning I thought we were going to hospital for radiation and maybe check in with Dr. R, rad onc, but on the way in James asked if I brought my laptop. Why? Fluids. Everything ran late. Still at hospital and he's hooked up to IV in infusion chair with ginger ale and peanut butter crackers, yum. We need to stop by grocery on the way home. I need s couple things and would love to find something that tastes good to James. Was a tough weekend with low appetite and everything tasting bad. On a slight upswing now, he's willing to taste/try again.

He logged in to his patient portal yesterday or maybe day before and low and behold there is another chemo scheduled, the nurse practitioner had mentioned something about chemo 3 when we were in for blood work and fluids Tuesday. We replied oh no, we're only scheduled for 2. That's not right. What the heck. Asked Dr R about it this AM and he said it's because James is tolerating treatment  so well. If he were more ill or had lost more weight they'd stop at 2. Ugh. Need to talk to med onc, Dr W., to see what's what.

James is doing okl. He has lost a little more weight. Was a little cranky the past couple days or maybe it's me being tense projecting cranky on him. I had to prep to meet with tax guy yesterday and was overly stressed. All is better now that taxes are done and James serms better today so probably all me. Need to relax. Need to breathe. All is well and good.

Looking at him now he's chilling in his chair watching a show. I'm sitting by the window contemplating closing my eyes. We're on week 5, we have 16 radiation left and one surprise chemo. If we move forward with that it's on the 17th. If we push back against it, it's not. Last day of radiation assuming we don't miss any appts is April 27.

Onwards and upwards!!
