Well, I'm not really homesick but am missing Diane, who left for home today. She'll be back on friday. Treatment today was kind of sparse. Two shots, one in each arm just inside the skin (Subcutaneous). One was a chemo drug, the other one a hormone to help the dying cells in the bone marrow regenerate. A steroid! That'a what it was. No trying out for major league sports for me right now!!!
Not a lot of side effects. Been working out twice a day, once with the awesome PT guy Kevin and once on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Keeps me going. Only thing I notice is my mouth is quite dry. Apparently the chemo affects how these short-term cells regenerate--again it kills the good with the bad. Don't have much of a sense of taste because of it.
Got a lot of emails today from the letter dad sent out from all ready. Amazing to see how many people care, even random customers one wouldn't think would take all that much of an interest. Must be a benefit of living in a small town. The steady stream of emails has been encouraging for sure, so thanks everyone and keep it up!
