85.3% Done

Yesterday was a crappy day. I'm not sure why but I felt lousy all afternoon and evening. I was surprised because I've come to rely on 'the pattern' from prior rounds to help me anticipate the side effects and this was out of the ordinary.

I kept reminding myself that I'm almost done and the good news is that I'm feeling much better today.

I'm on my first medication today (hence the .3% added to end of the 85%) with visitors planned for tomorrow and Friday to help make the time go faster.

I'll still have the recovery period to go over the next two weeks but at least it'll be (hopefully) for the last time.

I'm thinking about skipping at least some of the steroids that are normal prescribed for the days following my treatment. They have nothing to do with the cancer fighting drugs; instead they augment the effectiveness of the anti-nausea drugs. For me, I haven't had a lot of problems with nausea, but I have had really bad side effects from the steroids in terms of my sleeping. Anyway, we'll see and I won't make any changes until I discuss it with my doctor.
