Aaron has just about made it through another week and seems to be doing pretty good. It was nice that he didn't have to go in every day this week to receive treatment. Even though he only had to go in one day, it wasn't until, I believe, Thursday that he was able to kick the nausea. However, even without the nausea, he has been so weak that he still hasn't been able to do much. Just the littlest activity makes his muscles start to shake from fatigue. The other day he took the dog for a short walk around the park. He learned that it wasn't an exaggeration that every ten feet would feel like another mile. It was a good thing that he drove there; otherwise, I don't know that he would have made it back. Besides the lack of energy and physical strength, he's noticed that his mouth has gotten pretty sore and he's not sleeping too well. Last night, he didn't even fall asleep until four o' clock.
On Monday, he'll go in again for another lab, visit with the doctor, and to receive the Bleomycin. Then it is no more appointments (hopefully) until the next week, which is the start of Cycle 2 - that's one cycle down!
