Chemo day update

Hi, ya'all.

I am writing this update from the chemo suite (a high-falootin' name). Today is week 2 of 6 in the second and last (woo hoo!) round. After his first treatment, Steve felt fine all week. He really wasn't even tired and - thank goodness - kept his appetite up.

So we are hoping things will stay this way - at least for the bulk of the time.

Steve's had a few new side effects: his hands and feet are very dry and the skin is cracking; and some funky discoloration (i hope that's all it is) of his gums. But the NP says that's all normal. She gave us some samples of something called Udder Cream. Lousy name, but supposed to be very very good.

Nice woman sitting next to us today. This is her last day of chemo. So when she walks out today, she'll get to ring the bell and everyone will applaud. I can't wait until we can do that!
