Chemo Week 2 So Far

Chemo week this time around has gone much better so far (knock on wood). Having TJ, Joan, & Emily around has made all the difference. The three of them have taken such wonderful care of me. I'm hydrated, fed, and rested and I am feeling about a 1000 times better at this point in time when compared to last chemo week. I also think that having friends here helps with attitude and distraction from the 3 minute reminders that Ethel brings.

Last night we had a movie evening watching "A Fish Called Wanda." The running joke was that TJ & I would relive the fish swallowing scene with Emily's fish tank. She managed to booby trap her room to safe guard her little loved ones.

Today should bring more of the same, and hopefully continued success through this chemo week round. Tomorrow afternoon Ethel goes away again...yeah!

Steve -
Great job on the blog. :)
Hope you are practicing your juggling with Ethel -- left foot, over the pole, right foot, etc.
Best,
Tom
