Round 2: Day 4

I'm halfway through day 4 of 5 of the "heavy" part of round 2. These 5 days look like this:

Wake up at 5 to be on the road at 6

Get to the hospital to check in at 7:15

Get assigned to my mini-room and get the IV and pre-meds started

Start 4 hours of chemo

Sleep during chemo

Start fluids

Escape room and lame room service for hospital cafeteria

Maybe sleep more

Leave just in time to hit horrible rush-hour traffic

Repetitive. But it could be much more worse.

The fatigue has really started to set in. Yesterday I think I slept something like 16 hours. Today I've got a little more energy, but not a lot.

I'm starting to think this is what chemo will be for me: just lots of IV's and fatigue. (and fighting off other side effects--mostly with success)

I don't know what else to say. I'm still around. I'm still kicking. I will not be broken. I'll just endure and walk out of this on the other side.

Out.
