Check-up Day

Kevin saw Dr. Skinner today for a check up. The good news is he's doing well, at least as well as anyone does on chemotherapy. Blood counts are holding, neuropathy fading, appetite ok, body doing it's thing the way it should where it should.

The bad news is he still has seven treatments to go. And she'll bring up radiation again after that.

He had a little dizziness trouble with the Ativan last time so she's going to cut that in half. I like that she listens to him. Sometimes we have to slow her down because she's thinking ahead a little faster than he gets to where he's going, but she listens to what he says and to what he doesn't say.

She sent him off to his conference in Chicago with the admonition to rest, wash his hands frequently and enjoy the city.
