Another lazy day afternoon

Today was a day of rest. We slept most of the day away in order to catch up on sleep. Last night we had some interrupted sleep due to chemo and are hoping tonight we can make it the entire night with no adverse reactions. We are trying to be more proactive in curtailing reactions so we have alarms set to make sure we stay on top of the medication schedule.

Brian hasn't eaten much the past few days as it does not stay down to well. He has managed some soup and we will try some more tonight. Currently, he can handle red Gatorade and sprite the best. Water has been tasting like 'metallic' so we are avoiding it. He says other stuff tastes different which probably is why he is avoiding eating.

Around 6 we finally got up (I told you it was a lazy day, we both just slept) and he showered to see if that would help him feel better. Luckily, my mom made us homemade curtains this summer so we were able to keep the sun out all day.

Our night will be very similar to our day. Sleep. This continues to be the roughest go on chemo. Tonight he starts his neupagen shots which usually brings on its own side effects. We are hoping he begins to feel better tomorrow so that we can participate in Brian's family Christmas. We don't want to push anything because we don't him to get any sicker and his body needs time to recover after 12 rounds of chemo.

Brian will start radiation on Tuesday. His appointments will be around 20 min or so. He hopes to be able to return to work later next week.

Continue to pray that this new route of treatments will work and he will recover from treatments.

Thanks!
