Crap...this one has been an ass kicker! By far the roughest post week I have had after chemo. Day 7 after round four and I just can't shake the side effects. Still try to keep moving forward but each day I finally hit a wall and am just done! Among the multiple side effects, my hearing has been increasingly worse each week. We work in an open environment and the ambient noise levels are just jacking with me. I am sure everyone is getting tired of me asking to repeat what they are saying. The brilliance of this side effect is that even though your hearing is going away or muffling, you still get the clear ringing in your ears to drive you crazy. On the down hill slide with 4 of 6 rounds done but even thinking about going back for the next round is a bit overwhelming!
Okay...enough griping! On better news, my PET scan came back normal. What does that mean you ask? Apparently, the chemo is working and there currently is no sign of cancer activity. By far the best news we could have received at this point. Not sure how to digest this emotionally yet but pleased things are moving in the right direction.
In other news, my daughter is back from Geology Field Camp and has signed on as an intern at DatumLabs! So for about six weeks she gets to drive in with me and see what Datum is all about. Really enjoying having her in the office and she has already become a productive intern!
Fun for the week...this week I had my first head and face shave with a straight razor. Absolutely amazing!
You're about to go in for #6 and final -- you're about to be a whole treatment behind~!
