Better Than Expected

So...this weekend actually went better than the last chemo weekend. Most of the heavy nausea was restricted to evenings which allowed me to be a functional human being most of the daytime. This worked out really well since my family was in town visiting. I was able to spend a decent amount of time with my parents and even snuck in a round of golf with them, my brother, and my wife on Sunday morning.

Only difference between last session and this one is I received my Neulasta vaccine on Monday morning versus Saturday. Hoping it doesn't get the nausea started again. Been documenting side effects and dates they occur so hopefully I can get ahead of the headaches, ear ringing, exhaustion, etc.

Have to do additional labs this week as well as next week before third treatment. My understanding is the second treatment really starts to wear on the blood cells so we have to start watching a bit closer.

Anyway, parting picture from the weekend. Me and the wife!

Chemo Round Two

Lab results were good so round two is a go. This week was pretty good...unfortunately by the time you feel almost normal is is time for another round. My body continues to test me everyday. Always something new to figure out. For the most part though, handling the chemo well!

Datum has really gained traction so work remains busy. This is great for me mentally and I am ecstatic to see our company grow out of infancy. I am privileged to have great employees and co-workers who work hard and share in the company philosophy. We work closely with our Barkley partners and even when things get crazy...everyone makes time to joke and have fun. Couldn't ask for a better environment to work in while fighting this cancer.

Same regimen as two weeks ago...will check in later! Oscar our data monster (below) says hi!
