There remains an unpredictability in the chemo therapy process other than its effectivity. For the second time, the infusion for round 5 has been postponed one week due low white cell count. It's bothersome in that it not only pushes out the chemo process window to Feb., it affects thanksgiving. Chemo is now scheduled for Tues. of next week. They moved it up one day to give me a little more time before Thanksgiving.
The effects of the infusion is worse the week of the procedure, especially the first three days. I still have not resolved the nausea and daily vomiting. Eating is not the worse part, not feeling well and fatigue is. Therefore we are adjusting our Thanksgiving plans to be determined on how I am feeling. But it will be good to have #3 home for the weekend.
As you can tell sleep issues continue. Late night, early mornings are prime time for web surfing, thinking and frequent relief visits due to my increased intake of fluids. Blogging becomes a little more challenging with the one finger typing on the IPad.
