Today was Chemo #4 of round 2; 24 total IV chemo treatments. Last time I went home and took a nap, but had a hard time sleeping that night. This time I didn't take a nap, but kept busy getting things ready to go RVing this weekend. I am definitely tired enough for bed now, but it's only 8:10.
We are going to Burlington with our trailer tomorrow afternoon. Vicki's youngest niece is turning 1, and the celebration is Sunday. She wants to be there to help with decorations and food, so we decided to make it an RV weekend. Ben and Sally will be there on Sunday, unless they decide to come down early. Another reason to have the trailer.
Today's chemo was actually a pretty good one. The needle didn't seem to hurt as much and I didn't get cold from the cool liquids going in my arm. I guess the hot weather has even warmed up the IV fluids!
I'm a little anxious about the next CT scan. I was ready to have another treatment since we go back to Houston for another checkup in just over a week (leave 8/22, return 8/24). I want the chemo to do as much good as possible before the next scan. I'm sure it will be a good report, but I want the confirmation. After the setback last time, I'm ready for another step forward.
