Chemotherapy 3.0

This morning we got up and I went in to the Cancer Centre for the next dose of chemotherapy. It went smoothly again and I was there from about 8:30 until 12:40, so it might have been a bit faster than last time. I took some dvds to help the time pass more quickly, and that was helpful. My nurse today had a son who was born 6 days before me, so that was a fun connection.

After Brittney and the kids picked me up and we went home, we had a good lunch and then I had a short nap, until the kids all were done with quiet time/naps and decided to climb on me/request that I read them stories. After dinner (delectable French toast!) we went to pick up a basketball hoop for Charlie's birthday (this Saturday!) that Brittney found on the local Craigslist-ish website Kijiji.

My stomach has felt pretty good so far. It kind of feels tight, and I can tell things aren't normal, but I was able to eat normally so far. In fact, I just had a pre-bedtime snack of cereal, figuring that I might as well eat now since I might not feel like it tomorrow. So far so good. It is exciting to take another step towards being done. This makes it 25% of the planned treatments. The woman next to me getting chemo was on her second to last dose, but it sounded like she had been getting it every 3 months for the last 2 years. I just about teared up thinking about how great that must feel for her. Overall, it was a good day.
