Today marks one week after chemo began. Recovery from chemo has been rough but not unexpected for Paul.
On Friday, Paul went back to Altru and had a port "installed." The day wore him out, but it will be a good thing to have that port for future treatments, blood work, etc.
He is dealing with the side-effects of a myriad of things - the chemo itself, the medications, the procedures, the pain killers, etc. Peace and quiet is what he appreciates on most days - and a warm bath!
Yesterday he seemed to feel a bit better, just in time for the Vikings game... that's another story.
It's amazing the close-knit community of families who have dealt with cancer. Paul and Steph have received so many tips and words of encouragement, many of which have been put to use already.
We are hoping the negative side-effects of the chemo diminish this week and that the relief of his symptoms begins.
We continue to be grateful for your support and encouragement!
Oh for a warm bath!!!!!!!!!!
