Chemo Day

Today Kavan finished his 5th round of chemotherapy. Only one day this cycle. Today he received doxirubicin, vinecristine and cyclophosphamide. Aside from looking pale, I'd say everything went well today.

This evening he reported feeling a little nauseous and quite tired but I guess that is to be expected. He has every intention of going to work tomorrow. How many times can I repeat that I am amazed by him! I'm so proud of his strength and am truly pleased things have been going so well for him. It seems like every second day someone inquires about his progress and they, themselves, cannot believe how well Kavan is doing. I hope he continues to defy odds and expectations.

With that being said, Kavan is now officially done 1/4 of his treatment regimen. I hope the next 3/4 goes as smoothly. With his next cycle of chemotherapy, slated to start on October 15, Kavan will begin his 28 days of radiation therapy.

And now to the weekend, one I'm sure will be low-key and full of sleep!
