Chemotherapy Day

Cycle 6-15.

Last chemotherapy day. Usual preparations: pushed him to drink lots of water yesterday, got out chemotherapy pump, packed juice and a snack, reviewed our questions for Dr. Skinner.

She's going to bring up those additional weeks of chemoradiation. She'll respect his decision and not push him, but I know she and Dr. Ling think it would be in his best interest to try it again.

Kevin and I talked until late last night; a sort of verbal review of the past 10 months. Where we've been, what we're thinking, what's changed.

What might change more yet.

He's anxious about today, this week. Side effects. Moving forward.

Being done.

His day needs to begin first though. He's sleeping a wonderfully sound sleep this morning. I waiver between wanting to let him rest longer and an eagerness to begin this day so we can see it finished.

"Finished" sounds pretty good right now.
