Kev was disappointed to see he had a gained a couple of pounds, no doubt the results of last week's conference and being house bound by the snow. Much more sitting around for hours at a time than he ever does. He lamented that he would be the only person who left chemotherapy more rotund than when he began. That's not likely to be the case given the amount of weight he's lost up to this point. To underscore his worry on the topic, he requested GoldStar Chili dogs and 3-way spaghetti for lunch as we left the clinic!
One of the few plus points of enduring cancer treatment is that, in my quest to make certain he eats enough, he gets to pick places to eat that I would normally refuse.
The chemotherapy day is easier on Kevin here than in Lafayette. The place is larger and much more open with lots of natural light through huge windows. It's set up to accomodate family and friends with the patients. And there's no waiting while an IV beeps for 45 minutes after it's finished or waiting an hour for the next drug infusion to be started.
Finding the day to be "easier" is still relative though. Kevin is experiencing that growing chemotherapy fatigue today. He kicked back to do a little work via computer which didn't last too long. Once again, noisy things have been silenced around the house and he drifts off too sleep on the Man-Couch.
