My energy has been up and down these last few days—I’ve been sleeping a lot with all the surgeries and the chemo.
The port has been really nice. They only need to take blood once a day now, and it doesn’t even hurt. It’s a little strange having such a large bump on my chest, but I can still mostly move my arm. They say I should be able to play sports with full range of motion once my stitches heal up.
Tomorrow I am having some more chemo into my spine at around noon. I will be asleep for the procedure.
Today my sister stayed with me as the rest of my family went to church in Stratford. I had a better appetite today than I’d had for a little while. I received some nice visits from family, friends, and the missionaries.
Today I received my first dose of intravenous chemotherapy. It was fairly quick, two drugs given back-to-back over the course of half an hour. The immediate effects, were very gradual (if any), so I didn’t notice much.
