Cycle 4, Day 2

Day two of chemo went well. Nausea was fairly low except when I thought about food. It’s weird - when I think about feel it makes me feel queasy, but when I actually eat it is fine. I also experienced a bad case of hiccups tonight, which we had learned is a possible side effect of chemo. This is only the second time I’ve had them, but they lasted for well over an hour tonight. I fell asleep on the couch and Jon said I was hiccuping in my sleep for awhile. Go figure! Tomorrow is my last chemo day - I’m so excited to finally be done with the treatments and to be closer to learning how well they all worked.

We now have our next visit scheduled. It will be a short one. We are scheduled for the PET CT Scan I mentioned yesterday for October 19, along with the blood tests. We will then meet with the medical oncologist on the 20th to get the results of the tests. This is the biggie! It should let us know if they were able to completely kill the cancer or not. I’m nervous about waiting another month, but I also know the time will fly.

Here’s a little snippet of our downtime in pictures-

More tar art. What do you see? I see a very long necked llama..

A different trail this afternoon - Cascade Creek Trail. It’s starting to look like fall.

A quick pose by a big tree 😁😍🥰😜🤪

This afternoon’s 5 mile path.

Oh no! We saw this in the street on tonight’s walk. I hope it’s not all that’s left of Mr. Bill! Google him if you don’t know who he is. 😁
