Well now...cycle 3 day 6 and I'm beginning to rejoin the land of the living. Unfortunately, Kat did not get the memo about the time change so she decided it was time to get up at 4:30AM. We'll have to work on that.

The most noticeable difference in this cycle from the previous ones is the cumulative effect chemo has on certain side effects. The standard food intolerance and digestive issues occurred but the leg weakness and joint and muscle aches were much more pronounced. The most noticeable was the severe "chemo brain" late day 3 into early day 5. I couldn't even make a decision what chair to sit in and reading comprehension was not existent. Tried to write an update on day 4 and just couldn't put 2 sentences together. Weird stuff.

Anyway, slowly sliding into normal and looking forward to eating solid food again (not quite yet though). And now, the wait. Full battery of tests on Nov 11, Blood, CT, bone scan, to see if this stuff is working. Almost hoping it isn't so I don't have to do it again.

Heading off to PCP today for her to sign off on cataract surgery at the end of the month. Sure could have timed this a little better. I'd much rather lay around in my PJ's than leave the house today. Not sure why this is even necessary since oncology and cardiology already signed off. Just the surgeon covering his butt, I guess.

Have a great day all!
